I have been looking for this fish for a while now, they are one of my favorite Apisto's. Only could find them through Wetspot but they are $30 each plus shipping which if you next day it is around $70 more or less, so that has slowed me down until I found a C.A.F.E. member from the Ohio fish club had some and was willing to sell some for a reasonable price. The shipping was still very expensive but I really wanted them bad!

so heres an unboxing video to share with you guys and would like to know if anyone else has them?

I planned on breeding them and adding some to my 180g Discus tank.

Definitely different from what was originally sold as 'Redneck' (Rotrücken in German) - which is a wild population. Here is a photo of a wild specimen. We called it a 'Red-shoulder Mac' back in the Dark Ages. He won 3rd place at the 1984 ACA convention.

He look nice and huge! Did yoy breed them? So if mine are from wild I should lower the ph and hardness more faster? Right now I am slowly bringing down the ph and hardness by water change every three days. The ph is 7.4 and kh is 4 right now. temp is 78F

The fishes I collected in the Rio Pauta drainage, Colombia, less than 2 months ago, seem to fit quite well the original "Red-Shoulder"-fishes, except for the red in the caudal...
