    Is this a Macmasteri?

    I’m about to crest a specific gel food for Apistos. So far I’m going to add earthworm and flies if I can catch some. What else would be good? I just ordered astaxanthin.

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    It's got the blue specks under the stripes typical of Marandu. His ventral and dorsal fins are also outlined in a medium orange.

    It's eating really well so far. Gorgeous fish!

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    It already has a few characteristics of a female. Who knows yet though. It’s been at 78 these past few days due to weather. I’m excited to see how it turns out though.

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    I’ve been keeping the temperature as 76 degrees considering it in the middle. Thoughts as to what it should be?

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    It's going to have to grow a little before anything can be said for certain, but I definitely think it's A. Ortmanni or A. Steindachneri.

    What are everyone's thoughts on it being A. Ortmanni or similar?

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    Here are a few more pictures! Here are the ones that show him. I have others showing its personality goofing off! The wisteria makes a fun play space! I got some earthworms earlier. Might make the gel food later.

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    I guess I’ll start using this as sort of a progress thread until I can get an ID. It looks like he’s grown the slightest of a bit using one of the rocks as a base for that. Seems to have more blue that I was having trouble getting to pop up that good. Anyway, here he/she is as of right now.

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    It's frozen brine shrimp enhanced with spirulina. I'm about to mix up a new batch of gel food specialized for him. What are your thoughts on feeding him earthworms (no fertilizers, pesticides, etc).

    Apistogramma ‘Rio Negro’?

    My LFS sells Apistos marked as Apistogramma Rio Negro/Apistogramma Spp. What is the ID/scientific name for this species? I want to say Hippolytae, but I dont have enough experience with Apistos to say anything for certain.

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    I’ve got in on some spirulina. Should I add astaxanthin in too?

    This is where we are at the moment after having a night to settle in.

    Is this a Macmasteri?

    I ended up coming home with a juvenile Apisto. It was sold to me as a Macmasteri. It’s barely an inch long. He’s still settling in after being caught and the drive home. Can someone confirm? I’ll take more pictures as it gets older.

    What Plants?

    I picked up some water wisteria today. They didn’t have water sprite. I treat them the same though. It’s partially in the substrate to keep it down, but the majority of the roots are out. I had to trim it down so it would fit in the tank!

    What Plants?

    My light is closer to medium most of the time. I have Hygrophila Corymbosa, Anubias Nana, Anubias Coffeefolia, Elodea, and Bacopa in other tanks. So far, Bacopa is my favorite. I tried watersprite once and it didn't do very good. I may try it again.

    What Plants?

    I'm ordering Apistogramma Ortegai as well as Appistogramma Hippolytae. The Ortegai will be going into a 20H by themselves. Does anyone have any plant recommendations for them? I'll be going to my LFS early this week that carries a large variety of them.
