Which one of u are keeping A. Hoignei?, I haven't found very much info or pictures on this species.
A couple of years ago i had a pair of this species. The male was very impressive, very large compared to an average apisto species. If anyone have the book South American Dwarf Cichlids by Mayland and Bork, the picture on page 73 is more or less identical to the one i had.
The fish pictured in the Datz publication as A 116 looks almost the same, just that i doesn't have or show any orange areas in the caudal fin.
I never managed to breed them, because the male died rather quickly by some disease, (fish tuberculosis is my guess).
Anyway a beautiful fish, I hope i have the luck of finding this species again.
Anyone breeding them BTW?
