agassizii male

[antwan]

Well, yesterday i introduced two wild caught large male agassizii, and was expecting them to absolutely dominate my little fella...however, completely the opposite has happened, and the little dude is looking awesome for his female.

hey thanks for the replys everyone. I just got back from my a week long holiday to find the wild males harrassing this guy now (guess they just needed to settle in). Im not too sure what type he is unfortunately.

Patrick, i am afriad it is NOT, the tail pattern does not look like that from
Madeira...

yup, this little guy is from the lfs, cost me $40 which is standard around here. I recently got 10 wild caught apistos from an importer, the hongsloi are already getting ready to spawn which is great.

Wow, first kiwi :biggrin:

is that by any chance a tefe? if not, what strain would you say it is.
Thanks.

looks like a standard specimen A. agassizi. It's not A. cf tefe tho. I'm not sure from what location, but rather it should just be a good representation of the widely distributed agassizi. john

Beautiful fish mate. $40 bucks though. Thats pretty steep. I thought we had it bad in Sydney. I picked up a nice trio last month and they were $24 each.

No, it is not A. sp. Tefe. This form of aggie is traded as
Ap. agassizii " Alenquer " in Hong Kong and many asian countries...
The price here could be very low. I once acquired a pair at a price of
US$15. It is easy to keep and can breed any time... anyhow, it is
a beautiful fish for any apisto lovers ^.^
