Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri' spawning..

[ste12000]

I got lucky tonight and caught my pair of A.sp kelleri spawning, the male desperately wanted to get into the cave but couldnt fit, he fertilised the eggs from outside..

Good luck,

I had read that kelleri was another form of barlowi, but after seeing the link and montes' photo I am wondering. The fins and head structure do seem similar though.

 

[ste12000]

They are a related fish but are a species in their own right.. Kelleri females have a slight lyre tail while Barlowi females are rounded. They are other differences but this is the main distinquishing feature for me...Plus the price!!!!

 

[MonteSS]

They also mouthbrood i believe??

They certainly are mouthbrooders...
