I think that your A. macmasteri (no, they are not A. viejita) will love their new home!

Thanks!In your opinion, I can take some target fish, like Nannostomus bekfordi or others , in 70 liters tank?

I wish to have success with breeding!

 

[AlessandroC]

could you tell me the differences you see from my Macmasteri and apistogramma Viejita?

Hi all,

I can take some target fish, like Nannostomus bekfordi or others

Most of the other Pencils are OK, but N. beckfordii is a real fry hunter. N. eques are ideal, and you could have 6 without any problem in 70 litres.

could you tell methe differencesyou seefrom my macmasteri andApistogramma viejita?

This is a question that comes up a lot. If you search through the forum you'll find a lot of posts, have a look at these ones: <http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/i...import-apistogramma-viejita.12229/#post-66894> & <http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/index.php?threads/apistogramma-sp-schwarzkehl-black-throat.12212/>
