    Apistogramma Borelli Female

    Hey all - this is my female Borelli Opal. I’ve had her for over a year now and for the longest time thought she was male due to her coloration. Was quite surprised when she spawned!

    Cacatuoides ID and sexing help

    This is my first apisto, he was sold to me as a cacatuoides double red male, unsure of the age but he's about 2 inches long total and I've had him a week. I believe he is indeed a male because of the longer spikes at the front of his dorsal fin, but would like your all's input in confirming...

    Female or male apisto

    Hi, I got this female about three weeks ago when i asked for a female, but then I wasn't sure if it was so I put it in a 6-gallon tank without the male who is in a 20 gallon. She doesn't look quite as yellow IRL as in the pic but some of u will probably be able to say if it's a female or just a...
