    A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'

    This pair has spawned, judging by the female's behavior. She is guarding a clutch (keeping the male away with frequent tail-waiving), and is in full-on brood care coloration. Note she, similar to A. gephyra, has little to no black pigments in her pelvic fins. Does this coloration characteristic...

    Fine particles of decayed organic plant matter chosen for their rich content of tannins.

    Thanks, Micke. Your observations are exactly the way I see it ,as well, yet since I've not kept this species before, I just was not sure. Even though the "female" is smaller than the male (but not drastically so) I would be surprised if it would develop all of the characteristics of the larger...

    A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'

    Got a few more of these in. Here is the best looking male of all of them. Neat fish! And a definite female which I think is in brood care.

    A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'

    Introduced the female to the male's tank today and they started dancing immediately. Sorry for sub-par photos, but best I could do. Interesting metallic pink on male's dorsal fin which I've not seen before on an agassizii.

    A. Rio Xingu ?

    Thanks Yukondog. Again difficult to tell what they might be. Possibly two females. Are they A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'? I cannot say.

    For trade

    Thank you, Yukondog. However, it's really not possible to tell anything conclusive about them from your photos - with them being backlit and to far away. Except possibly one is a female Apistogramma. I'd need some closeups with lighting from the front if at all possible. Dave

    Bob, I know it's been several months, but do you still have A. agassizii 'Rio Xingu' ? I have some things to trade you might be interested in. Thanks, Dave

    A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'

    My fish appears to be fairly close in form to the Xingu river population as pictured a thread from this forum. It is also very close to the form pictured on Rayon Vert Aqua listed as from Cameta (including the split pelvic fins). However, Cameta is closer to Belem on the Tocantins river, east...

    A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'

    I was curious if the advertised fish would be Blauspeigel as the importer has a number of WC fishes from the area. No luck in that regard, but an interesting BBCS agassizii-like fish is what I got. This male is small (3-4cm) and is subtly colored with an interesting iridescence in the dorsal...

    A. cf. agassizii 'Xingu'

    Yes, will treat as for other aggies. And yes, A. cf. agassizii (BBCS). Once they settle in I'll post photos. Thanks.

    Nanochromis splendens WC

    That reminds me, I also had a pair of N. transvestitus that was one of the most harmonious pairs if ever had. Almost forget! N. teugelsi and splendens just could not get along.

    Problem with posting/reply confirmation when posting

    It works. Thanks.

    Nanochromis splendens WC

    Yep. I've never had luck with getting a docile pair of Nano's. I've managed to get other initially aggressive Pelv. species to eventually spawn, but not nanos. I know it can be done, but not I.. Hi Gerald :)

    Nanochromis splendens WC

    Nope. I sold to Gerald. They were to aggressive for my taste. Not sure if Gerald had any luck with them. WC are available from Wetspot in Oregon, I believe at this time.

    Problem with posting/reply confirmation when posting

    This issue still exists - both in posting and answering PM's. Any luck in getting a fix or work around? Thanks.
