    Apistogramma spec. "Bolivia Gold".. - A. cf "Cristal" or A. luelingi ??

    Thanks for helping me Mike....!! 1: The male in the pic was approx. 4cm/ 10 inch. I think he was approx.1 year old in this pic..(2-4weeks after purchase) Unless this is a "cold-water"/"slow-growing" Apisto-species , I think I am quite correct in my guess.. but ofcourse , I might be wrong!!;)...

    Hi all.. I bought this wild Apistogramma spec. "Bolivia Gold" from Aquarium-Glaser in 2013..( maybe coming from the Puerto Maldonado-area???).. I guess it is a A. luelingi-"type".... Unfortunately , I add my only pic of the "dad"/male (now dead) to my remaining 2 females (F1)..!! The only...

    What kind of Apisto are these?

    A wild,wild guess....1) might be A. atahualpa..?????????? 2) borellii.. is probably a female.. I would say that you have got 3 different Apisto species .. in other words.. the start of a collection!!:);) Maybe you can buy some more for a cheap price..? ..since the dealer can`t guarantee what...

    Help sexing my Apisto's

    Like Mike W. says... it is hard to tell.. what size are they?? From the first 2 pics I would guess it is 2 females..(at least if they are 2,5cm/ 6inches or bigger).. Due to the short 1-5 spines in the beginning of the dorsal-fin + relatively short length and broad black markings in the...

It might be worth a try..? .. since the female seems like ready...

    Breeding aggression and what to do?

    Actually it is not weird at all .. it is a thousand year old "tradition"...:) He is probably now getting some "vibes"/signals in her body-language that something good may occur, so now there is no reason for him to chase her away anymore...!! (and she is playing "hard to get" ???!!! "Nothing...

    Finally it has happened

    As long as the female keep her focus more to the eggs/wrigglers/fry than chasing the male around, for his "approval"/support+ guarding their common territory, I would not bother... Males often stays away from the eggs/fry.. they kind of "shows their side/belly" to their female/s when these are...
