    Can everyone please offer a opinion..

    New pickup.. A191. A.sp 'Jurua'

    Just a quick note to update this thread!! these fish are agressive, very aggressive!! My female suffered at the hands of the male when he wanted to spawn and as soon as they did spawn roles were reversed and the female was hyper agressive.. Nothing too unusual there but these fish are one of the...

    How many fry are generally lost from each spawn?

    It all depends on the pair.. I have pairs of Apistogramma that will raise up almost every offspring to 10-12 weeks when i then remove them, i currently have several pairs that are so eager to spawn again that they attack, kill or eat every single fry to make way for the next brood 1-2 weeks...

    Wondering what apisto hybrids people have come accross

    Im with Mike, you have just put me off buying any Apistos from Thailand!! Here in Europe Apistogramma hybrids are virtually unheard of, i can only speak of the UK but we are all purists and i dont know of any hybrids being produced by hobbiests, anyone doing what Melanochromis is doing...

    Apistogramma Agassizi Flame Red aka Fire Red Question

    No problem, heres a picture of one of my old females.. As you can see all fins are completely clear. Females dont show much if any colour in the fins although there are female cacatuoides appearing with lots of red, its possible that this is happening with domestic lines of agassizi?

    Brazil Apisto interest? (and a few Colombian species)

    Has anyone ever crossed Albino kribs with the regular kribensis?

    Ive done this cross in the past with exactly the same parents, my female was a domestic albino and the male a Wild caught fish. The two colours seem to be co-dominant with both being expressed almost 50/50 in the first generation. My spawn was very interesting, once freeswimming and...

    ID please

    Not quite true, female A.sp 'steelblue' are available, we see male heavy batches hit the UK from time to time but they usually contain a few females.. The trouble is the females can carry a lot of blue making ID hard.. No one knows 100% that A.sp 'Steelblue' is a hybrid, its highly likely...
