    Masculine female

    My female A. cf. ortegai's coloration has become more vivid recently, almost approaching that of the male's. I've had them for almost a year, and they've bred for me, but not for quite some time. Are they past their prime?

    Apistogramma ortegai or cf. ortegai.

    I purchased this pair as Apistogramma ortegai Papagei, but now that they've matured I suspect that they're not. The male looks nothing like my avatar, which most definitely IS the Papagei form.

    Agassizii infertility?

    Back in June I acquired a young pair of Apistogramma agassizii Blue Flame. Since then, they've grown into spectacular specimens, but so far no fry. The female shows brood care behavior but abandons the cave after a few days. On two occasions what appear to be fungused eggs have shown up outside...

    Infertile male?

    I have a pair of Laetacara araguaiae that was born in November 2019. They spawn every week or so & formerly produced many young. Lately, however, all of the eggs turn white soon after spawning. Can this be remedied or is my male permanently infertile?

    Runts

    A while back I had a large spawn of wild Apistogramma cacatuoides. After eventually rehoming the larger specimens I discovered about a dozen much smaller individuals remaining in the grow-out tank. Since then they've grown somewhat & have begun to produce fry, although at over a year old they're...

    Sneaker male or colorful female macmasteri?

    I've had this pair of Apistogramma macmasteri for about a year, or at least I assumed they were a pair when I first obtained them. The fish I thought was the female has become quite large & colorful, with somewhat extended fins, although not to the extent of those of the definite male. The...

    Community tank breeding.

    I've somehow manages to raise up a good number of Apistogramma ortegai in a community tank containing cardinals, gold laser cories etc. The parents did an exemplary job keeping the other fish at bay. It IS possible, but I wouldn't recommend it.

    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?

    Pelvicachromis silviae spawn

    My P. silviae finally presented me with a spawn after 8 months of waiting for them to get down to business. A very beautiful species, I'm really enjoying keeping them.

    Agassizii or Tefe'?

    Picked up a pair of these at an LFS a few weeks back. They were very small when I first purchased them & I assumed that they were agassizii, but lately the male has started to look Tefe'-ish to me.
