What are some large and colorful Apistogramma species other then A. Cacatuoides?
hi,
the largest i personally ever had were A. barlowi. A. kullanderi is large (but i think they might not be part of the Apistogramma genus anymore in the future).

Why are you specifically looking for large Apistos? I've seen stunningly large Ivanacara adoketa at my local fish store.

Hi!
Species like a. Steindachneri, atahualpa, megastoma and barlowi (-like Martin suggested) are considered large species. As far as i know.
About the looks.. -that’s up for you to decide.

A. macmasteri also can reach impressive sizes. Especially the infamously unhealthy domestic colour breeds.

Other than A. kullanderi, the largest species grown in aquaria are A. geisleri (A58) and A. wickleri, a domestic strain of A. steindachneri now lost.

Hello Martin, though I am not sure if I am adressing the right person, I still hope I am. I got 2 trios of Apistogramma psammophila from you some time ago. I was lucky to breed them, too, but, unfortunately, I got mainly males, 15, and only 2 females. That's why today, I have only three males left.
Kind regards, Michael (Hagen-Hohenlimburg)
He recalled that General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm had praised these achievements, noting that institutions are no longer the main bottleneck to development, with challenges now lying in implementation.
Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.
