Hello again.
I’ve recently posted an id question about an apisto I got. http://forum.apistogramma.com/showthread.php?t=2941 I now lost him in a mysterious illness and have only the female left. He was always shy but at the end he always hided and got darker and stopped eating. Finally he tried to enter a cave he was too big for. When I gently waved him away after some time he was swimming on the side and seemed to lose all orientation. I had nothing else too do but too take him out and end his misery. I have a 145 l. (32g?) 1 met. community tank with 4 small angelfish, 9 tetras (Paracheirodon innesi),
3 Dorsigeras and 2 Ancistrus L144a. All of them looking fine and water values are good. Due to the fish dealers poor Id I’m worried they even weren’t a pair in the first place.
Now I’m thinking of buying a new pair so I would like to know if this female I got left is a Macmasteri or Viejita or something else.
Apisto female1
Apisto female 2
Secondly I’d like to know of any other apisto/dwarf you think I could get or if this is enough for my tank. They have a limited stock of SA dwarfs at my LFS but they got Hongsloi and Borelli.
Thanks for a GREAT forum.
