if you are in usa aquaticclarity has some for sale you could ask him if he has a female.

conversely if you are very very patient and mine breed i can send you a female in 9 or 12 months depending on when they are old enough to breed (if you are in usa).

Last but least you can accept them as they are a lovely fish and just enjoy them as they are without breeding them.

Thanks, but I'm in France, here the hobby is really dead
I'll have to look in Germany or be patient.

I believe this one is a female:

And here she is next to a male and you can see the difference in dorsal fin if nothing else. In case you are wondering that is my subdominant male; there is a larger more colourful dominant male in the aquarium.

hi!!

this one looks like a female to me? what do you think?

no markings on the caudal fin, stocky and round shape, the males don't really chase her but contort themselves in front of her.

I was beginning to despair !!

the dominant male keeps it with her.

I'll have to remove the other young males before there's any aggression.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
