    Apistogramma agassizii

    Zenche - At 3 cm in size they should start to show difference in sexual dimorphism, though I would wait a little longer to be confident. Females are much smaller than males. For example my female is 3.5 cm only at approx 9 months age. The male is approx 8 cm. In other words if your apistos are...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Nice fish Alex, thanks. It looks like Apistogramma sp. aff. Tefé... It's not really a Rotrücken morph, but as far as I can see there is reddish portion just above the lateral band. Pictures look quite dark. Abdominal stripes look quite wide... Do you know the collection place?

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Since I don't have wild caught A. agassizii I can upload my captive bred forms... Below is a pair of Apistogramma agassizii "Fire-Red" form. These are the photographs taken by myself. Anybody can use them without asking me.

    Apistogramma agassizii

    re: photographs - I was asking for your own photographs, taken by youself. Same is to other guys... Why not to share if you have taken nice photographs of A. agassizii? Sometimes people restrict them themselves for no reason... later they change their rules etc etc I don't see a crumb of problem...

    Many thanks Mike for such comprehensive answers. On TomC website: "Colour forms of Amazonian cichlid fish represent reproductively isolated species" "Their work indicates that several geographical populations / colour forms of Apistogramma caetei should be considered as biological...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Mike, there are 2 things I would like to make clear (as much as possible of course) about A. agassizii (Type Form): 1. I would like to find out how many color variations of the wild Type Form are presented (known) at the moment. 2. How many actual (aka clearly recorded) collection places...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Thanks Mike, Can I ask people to send me pictures of color variations / different localities of wild A. agassizii (Type Form)? I would collect these photographs, learn and make a PDF leaflet (reference book). As Mike and other say there are many color variations of A. agassizii (Type...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Is Apistogramma cf. agassizii (Trombetas) listed in the DATZ book as A237 the same species as Apistogramma cf. agassizii «Net» or «Netz» (Trombetas) listed in the Cichlid Atlas 2, Uwe Römer?

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Mike, I don't understand how you mix "location" and "physical" forms... From your list: "physical" forms: A. agassizii (Type Form) - U. Río Amazonas (Peru) to L. Rio Solimões (Brazil) A. cf. agassizii (Broad Black Caudal Seam) - Right bank (south) tributaries of the Amazon between...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Yap... Forget that "Blue" in the name, let's call this prototype form just Apistogramma agassizii «Typical». So does it belong to «BBCS» or «Netz» group? If not than we have 3 main distinct groups (aka forms): «Typical» «Netz» «BBCS» ... accordingly these 3 groups of...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Thanks Mike. Do you know any source of accurately recorded collections of Apistogramma agassizii «Blue» (Typical) with location names / co-ordinates? Do you believe that the Apistogramma agassizii lectotype and paralectotypes collected by the Thayer expedition in 1865 - 1866 at...

    Apistogramma baenschi spawning.

    Hi Steve, They are stunning as all your fish. I'm looking forward to have a few juveniles from you if possible. BTW Yesterday I had a nice batch of A. sp. Red-Dot fries first time appeared from their cave. I was really impressed, since this pair (male and female) looks very young. They are...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Uwe says that "As a rule, specimens from different imports should not be bred, since it must be assumed that individuals from far-flung localities are genetically incompatible. etc... " Cichlid Atlas 1, page 258. Does it not contradict with the fact that Apistogramma agassizii (Typical, same...

    Apistogramma agassizii

    Thanks guys. Mike, in Cichlid Atlas 2 on pages 378 - 380 in the "Nominal List..." Uwe and you classify much more local morphs than you have listed here. Am I missing something or that info in CA2 is outdated? For example what does make Apistogramma cf. agassizii (Purus), Apistogramma cf...
