Hi everyone, I am a new Apistogramma owner! I've always wanted to keep these little fish, and I recently started using 50% r/o water in my tank, which provided the final motivation.
This is the male Apistogramma agassizi.
This is the female.
I bought this fish from the same pet store last week. They didn't have a male for her, so they ordered a pair of Apistogramma agassizi 'fire red', which was the name on the label for this fish. It looks to be a different species of Apistogramma though.
These three fish are in a 17 gallon tank with about 15 cardinal tertras and 6 otos. So far I've been feeding them frozen blood worms, which they've been eating up. The newer pair will also eat the flakes I feed the tetras.
