Just wanted to know what exactly is the species of the fish in your profile, and is it male/female, and are they plentiful? Thanks.

 

[fishgeek]

it is a male trifasciata

not uncommon, though i guess that depends n where you are

haha,.. fishgeek: probably your fish is too handsome to be
recognized as a tri

Well, this species is super common in the apisto hobby and
I am sure you could find it in most fish stores which sell
apistos...

haha...

while this species is also super-easy to breed and so after a few pairs have landed in an area, true hobbyists around could quickly spread them out for the whole area... by the way, it doesn't mean this species is bad; on the contrary, it's a really beautiful species and there are a few varieties for collection (red doral fins,
blue dorsal fins, more blue or more brown, red caudal fin or blue caudal fin ...)

It's a smaller pic, but i just think that the little fella looks fantastic. I realize that he's displaying a bit, but very beautiful still.
