    A. baenschi: Id M/F & Skewed Ratios!?

    Romers work on sex determination in apistogramma is very good however the interpretation that 26c will give you a 50:50 sex ratio is true however it is still possible to get 100% broods of male or female at this temp.

I have even had an aggie adopt a school of pebas fry in a stick tank which did seem to confuse the pebas female some what to say the least. After a few day...

    My Apistograma Agassizi Aquarium

    I agree Darrel on the Neons they are very good hunters of Apisto fry but it is very interesting to watch but very sad for the female. Neons will surround the female and one Noen will go in and as the felmale chase this fish off the rest of the school will dive in. However i would not worry...

    2 I.Ds Please

    Hi Arcadianre, Yes they are from the same group of fish as Mark's. I have the privilege of being able to watch these fish and not just look at photos of them. This is my opinion but this fish is not A. cacatuoides, "Black-chin" or A. luelingi. Cant comment on A. juruensis as i have never...
