Apistogramma sp. Xingu

[Andrew Powell]

A few days ago saw the purchase of some Apistogramma sp. Xingu (not sure what strain as they are very young). Unfortunately we have lost one since purchase but the others seem okay, though extremely shy.

I will endeavour to get better images once they have fully settled and coloured up.

Update 1:-

Our Apistogramma sp. Xingu are colouring up nicely. I am looking forward to seeing them as adults.

From 5 sp. Xingu to 3 to 2, we now only have one . Guessing they were all males.

It doesnt surprise me at all Andrew... A.sp. Xingu has a reputation for aggressive behaviour. If no leaf litter is supplied and the tank on the smallish side then this can be the result, even if both sexes are present.

It's a bugger as we now need 2 females!

Will see what I can do Andrew...
