Apistogramma for sale, for local pickup in NYC

I'm looking to try some new things with my tanks, so I have some Apistogramma for sale, for local pickup in NYC.

Apistogramma cacatuoides trio (1M/2F), $30. I raised the male and one of the females myself and they are approximately 10 months old. I don't know the age of the older female. The male is about 1 1/2" in size. There have already been 2 spawnings, but I have been unable to raise the fry due to my schedule.

I also have some Apistogramma eremnopyge fry/young adults, $7 each, about 3/4" to 1". They are also home raised and about 10 months old. The two largest are male, the others are difficult to sex (these fry are slower growing than the cacatuoides). I have a picture of the father (no guarantees that the fry will be as spectacular; sorry for the algae, but I have since discovered Excel which cleared the problem) and a female with fry (not the mother; I included it because it's a nice mother and fry picture).

I have a bunch of Apistogramma macmasteri fry approximately 4 months old, about 1/2" to 3/4," for $3 each. Here is a picture of the father.

Finally, I have an adult male Apistogramma bitaeniata "tefe" that is very camera-shy. I lost the female due to a siphoning accident (be careful with large siphons!). If you either have a female available, or are interested in taking the male, give me a heads up. It is very spectacular when it flares.

And the Apistogramma eremnopyge is spectacular. How did the fry turn out?

I sold almost all my fry from that batch, and kept only 1 male. I do have another batch I'm raising, though. Unfortunately, that original male died a while back, and I'm waiting to see how the male I kept develops. They are relatively slow growers. I'm hoping it will have multiple thin dorsal extensions, which were my favorite feature of that male.

I sure hope u still have some available.

PM sent

I have some macmasteri juveniles left. I have another batch of eremnopyge that I'm currently raising. And in a little bit I'll likely have gibbiceps and iniridae. I'm waiting for the gibbiceps and iniridae to be clearly sexable and once I have a pair or 2, I'll need to find homes for the rest.

I would be interested in the Bitaeniata male and 1 male of the eremnopyge. I live in Long Island and would be willing to pick up.

The male can't seem to hold still for a shot from the side, this is the most representative of picture I have so far. PM me if you are interested.

I don't have any of the larger eremnopyge fry, but I have a new batch that is now approaching 1/2 - 3/4 in, however still unsexable.
