    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    I currently have 2 Elizabethae, 10 cardinal tetras, 2 otocinclus and 2 amino shrimps. ah ha! I think that probably is one of the problems, the driftwoods were already soaked when I bought them and I have no idea what kind of water was used, now I think it’s possible that they are slowly...

    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    Sure! It’s a 60cm x 30cm x 36cm. It was started about a month ago and I don’t think it’s fully cycled yet, the water got cloudy as I was desperate to feed the new fish and put in too many bbs, water is not clear yet but making progress everyday. There are two sponge filters at the back thus...

    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    Sorry! I think the photo is now working. Yeah I tried to place the bag of peat in the tank and it can get as low as 5 in ph, I just don’t really like the look of it hanging a bag in the middle of the tank, I don’t think there is enough room to hide the bag in the back either… The substrate I...

    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    Nope, I don’t inject CO2 since I only have low light plants like Java fern, and I just tested the KH along with other parameters of the tank water and tap water and I think the tap water has around 20-30mg of KH per L? And it shows that it’s almost 0 in my tank, I think the water changes did the...

    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    Hi guys, thanks for the previous help! That one was indeed a female and is quite a beautiful one! She grew really fast and she has got very big now, when I first introduced the pair into the tank, the male was the one chasing the female around but after a few days it was the other way round and...

    Haha it’s me who didn’t know, the leaves were sold as some kind of Chinese medicine for human consumption and I didn’t think it mattered much whether they were green or brown, fortunately you let me know before it’s too late.

    Cool! I knew the tails are different but wasn’t sure about it, in this case I’ll wait for male to grow and see how it goes then! Thanks a lot again!

    Got it! The green ones are dried leaves from camphor trees, I heard that these can be added but apparently what I got are green instead of red, I’ll remove them anyways just in case. Guess I can only wait :(

    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    Hello! It was tough to take some clear shots but I think these are good to go! I let her look at the mirror today too and she did flare a bit but most of the time she was attacking the mirror instead, the male still showed no interest in the mirror… This one has really smooth dorsal fins and...

    Thanks a lot for the prompt reply! Sure, I only have a few videos with me and I’m sure a screenshot won’t help much, I’ll take some clear photos tomorrow!

    Need help with sexing Apistogramma Elizabethae

    Hi everyone! I have bought a “pair” of Apistogramma Elizabethae last week and it was very tough to select a pair from the lot as most of them were too young to distinguish be appearance. With the aid of the shop owner I managed to pick a definite male (around 3cm I think?) whose 3rd dorsal fin...
