Brought a couple of Apistogramma cacatuoides from my local fish shop and wondering if anyone could help to sex them. I'm not entirely sure if they are double red super red ect.

Thanks in advance

Both male and both overbred. The pelvic fins are mere stumbs and the anal fins are also shortened. The dorsal also seems deformed in both.

So if your goal is breeding, get better stock and if you get a female and let it breed with one of them, please cull the offspring and do not let these get into the general gene pool.

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.
