Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your reply - at least that confirms that I am learning myself in spotting the differences!
I have now (with the confidence of your reply) gone back to the shop and they have confirmed the error. I will now just need to find time to stop by again to pick up the correct...
Hi there,
Can anyone help identify this female apisto?
I bought a pair of Agassizii Huser Red tail and a trio of Macmasteri at the weekend. The fish in the photo is supposed to be the female Agassizii as he bagged that separately.
But to me it looks extremely like a Macmasteri and to the...
My large male, was sold as wild "Tefe"
And my new male, sold as wild from peru
The females have all been too secretive and fast moving.
What do you think to the above? Genuine as sole?
Thanks Mike. I will have a think about how I can add more boundaries etc as I am planning a bit of a change anyway. However, last night they were all going all over the tank without too much trouble.
I will also post up some pics of some of them in order to get your thoughts on species. As now...
Thanks Mike, very useful - I hadn't thought of it like that before.
How would go about creating more boundaries - with extra wood, roots etc?
As for adding double red aggies - surely they are both Agassizi species? Or do you mean, more specifically Netz/Tefe etc? They must surely all have the...
Hi all,
A year a go I bought a pair of Apisto Agassizi but the young 'female' turned out to be male. One since died.
So this wkd I saw in my LFS some Peruvian imported Agassizi so I decided to buy some more. Now, my plan was to buy 3 female and 1 male to go in with the existing male.
I have a...
Hi All,
I've just seen this posted for sale. Can anyone help with the ID? It's posted as a 'Blue' but to me, it looks the same as the domestic form of Red seen in most shops and other sources. What does anyone else think?
Paul
Thanks Mike, that is a very good reply - very very helpful indeed.
Couple of quick follow up questions;
- Did you have a view on the compatability with my PH/water for wild ones?
- How do you manage to judge the age of a male? (you referred to 'young male') I ask because I recently had a large...
OK, here is a picture of one of the options. This is labelled as A Agassizii Tefe. Is this right? And is it likely to be a wild one?
How do their colours differ from the other varieties I listed in my original post?
I need some advice on strains......what are the differences between the A. Agassizii Alenquer and 'Tefe'? How do they differ to the domestic 'Red'? Also, I've heard about A. Agassizii ampiyacu - how do these differ?
I have always wanted to own some Agassizii and now I have located severaly...
2 questions;
- have I experience a dwarf cichlid disease?! I returned from a 2 week holiday and all fish were present and correct and healthy. 2 days later my male Apisto 'Fire Red' was dead! He was a fully mature adult when I bought him 18 months ago so I put it down to 'natural causes'...
