Beautiful fish, and thanks for the suggestions on tank size.
My female looks very similar to yours in the photo. My male is not quite as blue. The top of his head is blue-green, with gill covers, lower jaw, and throat yellow.
Are the color varieties of this species geographic varients...
Darrel, thank you! I came across that web site before I bought my fish, and it encouraged me that I could be successful with borellii despite my rather hard, alkaline water (pH 7.8, KH 160 ppm, GH 150 ppm), as did the entry on Serously Fish. I did not read the article on 'Steel blue' carefully...
Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and recently back into the aquarium hobby after a long absence. While looking for small fish for my planted aquarium, I found a pair of A. borellii. I've had them about a month, and really like them.
Now I am trying to learn all I can about them...
