    After months waiting I got this: Flagcichlid

    The other species known as the flag cichlid is Laetacara curviceps, which grows to 3"/8 cm. Mesonauta insignis gets considerably larger.

    A Ortegai ID

    Apistos do great in Brooklyn tap water. I've kept and bred many species without any problems. Your fish looks very much like A. sp. Steel Blue, which is usually sold as A. borellii, A. agassizii or "Neon Head".

    A Ortegai ID

    I noticed that the shop in Clifton NJ has A. ortegai on its current stock list - & A.kullanderi! They're usually pretty accurate when it comes to apistos, but your fish is definitely not an ortegai.

    My first Apisto!

    I'd say it's a female of one of the line bred forms of A. agassizi, probably "double red".

    Hello from AZ

    Unfortunately, when people see colorless juvies in a shop they'll usually pass them by, without realizing how beautiful they'll become when adult. I've been selling them online for the past 5 years, spreading them throuought the U. S.

    Hello from AZ

    Welcome to the site! I'm also a fan of N. anomala. When you get a male, try to get them NOT to breed!;)

    Anomalochromis Thomasi (African Butterfly Cichlid) Over looked dwarf...

    Congratulations! They tend to do that...a lot! I've seen some videos posted by Europeans of the Sierra Leone form. Apparently they're still available over there. The SL morph looks somewhat more elongated than the stockier Guinea morph, plus they lack the deep red eyes.

    Anomalochromis Thomasi (African Butterfly Cichlid) Over looked dwarf...

    I was led to believe that the Guinea form was aggressive, but my 2 breeding pairs are dominated by Apistogramma paulmuelleri in a community tank. The thomasi spawn every week or so & some of the fry manage to avoid being eaten, thanks to a dense growth of Java moss.

    Cacatuoides or cf. cacatuoides?

    Thanks. I want to cross them with one of the line-bred varieties just to see the results, but I don't want to commit the sin of producing hybrids.

    Cacatuoides or cf. cacatuoides?

    I purchased these fish as Apistogramma cacatuoides Rio Nanay. Are they true cacs or a closely related form? Dig the blue lips on the male!

    Combining fry

    I have newly free-swimming Anomalochromis thomasi fry in a community tank & Laetacara araguaiae young of about the same age in a species tank along with their parents. If I introduce some of the thomasi babies into the Laetacara tank, would they be accepted by the adults or be rejected?

    Cruzi female?

    I've been trying to i.d. this fish for quite some time. Can it possibly be a cruzi Melgar?

    Female cacatuoides?

    I've had this female for several months now & she has turned out to be very undemanding & easygoing. I think she deserves a mate of her own species. Can it possibly be an A. cruzi Melgar?

    Id agassizii

    Looks very similar to the Rio Tigre or Flamenco form.

    Need help identifying

    Looks very similar to my Apistogramma cf. agassizi Alenquer/Netz.

    Female cacatuoides?

    Definitely not paulmuelleri - I'm up to my ears in paulmuelleri.

    Female cacatuoides?

    The person I bought it from also had A. macmasteri. Could he have sent me one by mistake? This is the same guy who sold me A. paulmuelleri as A. ortegai.
