    Aggressive female agassizi. What to do?

    Thanks for your post. You have picked a nice species to work with IMO. In my experience 20L aquariums are the smallest I would use to try to breed apistos - even though they are small cichlids, they still set up territories and require a certain amount of space. I was able to have a pair of...

    Wild Agassizii Blue or Flamenco??? help please.

    Not just yet, I want to give the juvies more time to grow out so that I can get a better handle on M/F ratios. When I can I'll let you know. Which male is from Wetspot and which from Batfish? Thanks.

    Apistogramma agassizii 'Barra Mansa' WC

    Thanks, Rich. I made the video public - try it now. And yes, the female guarded her territory with such vigor, that I had to separate the pair while she was guarding fry. I eventually removed the male to a separate tank to allow the fry to grow out (with female care) in the entire 20L tank...

    Wild Agassizii Blue or Flamenco??? help please.

    Thanks for your reply. Are you saying to got yours from both Wetspot and Batfish or from one or the other? I have about 25+ 10 week-old juvies growing out now.

    Wild Agassizii Blue or Flamenco??? help please.

    Thanks for posting. I'm not sure if 'flamenco' is an actual specific form (one can see many different agassizii forms on the internet called 'flamenco') - from what I recall though, "agassizii flamenco" originate from Peru. To my mind the form pictured by Tom C. is the "true" flamenco form...

    Apistogramma agassizii 'Barra Mansa' WC

    Apisto. agassizii 'Alenquer-Barra Mansa' fry growing out nicely. At 9 weeks post free swimming they seem to be growing well and surviving! Not the best video quality - posted for information purposes only. They are feeding on BBS, grindal worms, and finely chopped good quality frozen foods...

    Nanochromis splendens WC

    Thanks for the update, Gerald. As you know, I was uncertain about the ID of the male as well, and that is why I sent you close-up photos of him a day or two before our proposed shipping date, and asked your opinion as to whether you thought he was N. splendens or not, as he did not look (after...

    N. America WTB The Common Minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus)

    Thanks for the link, Darrel, very interesting to see. In looking for US native alternatives to the Common Minnow, I noticed that three spine stickle backs can become very color and a possible alternative indeed. Best, Dave

    N. America WTB The Common Minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus)

    Thanks, veijo, it would be interesting to see what's on a EU list. Yes the logistics could be an issue, and considering the regs issue it is probably just not a go. Thanks for checking up on it, though. There are so many interesting species available here in US - but I must say the Common Minnow...
