Apistogramma viejita

[AlessandroC]

Good evening to all!

I set up a tank for breeding apistogramma viejita, with a pH of 5.5 to 6.

Do you see a couple? They are very young and have just settled, I'm afraid that the smallest is a male submissive!

Forgive my English, I'm Italian!

Female

Hi,

that is´nt A. viejita, these are all A. macmasteri

 

[Mike Wise]

Yes, you seem to have pair. Andy is correct. You have a domestic strain of A. macmasteri that is sold under the name "A. viejita" or "A. viejita II". Do not worry about the name; just enjoy the fish!

Hi everybody!

In "biotope tanks" there is the new layout for my two macmasteri!

nice fish. Macmasteri was the first apistogramma couple thet i've ever had. they were sold to me as ap. viejita fab form II. i had them for a couple of years and they were a very peacful couple and very colorful too! they are very easy to keep and i would say that Macmasteri is one of the best apistos for anyone who wants to start keeping/breeding apistogramma
