I'm in the process of setting up a small breeding colony of Nijsseni and was after any advice if anyone has any experience of them? I'm also after help with sexing the 'male' I've got.

Size? Males should show blue flanks while females do not. Search A. nijsseni on the forum. You'll find their behavior is different from most other apistos and breeding requirements more demanding.
