    one month old apisto fry rubbing

    Well, I ended up pulling the agazzisi fry out of the tank just in case... I had a spare ten gallon so in the went. The fry will, on an irregular basis, rub their gill covers against the edge of a plant and otherwise look as they are trying to rid themselves of a parasite. I did a 50%...

    body forms for agazizzi

    Perhaps you can all shed a little bit of light on the fish available. The Agazizzi in my area (GTA, Ontario) are the pits IMO. They are tall bodied, very rounded tail, with a name of triple red. Even the females have red tails. They are very large, approaching three inches. The line breeding...
