What are some large and colorful Apistogramma species other then A. Cacatuoides?
hi,
the largest i personally ever had were A. barlowi. A. kullanderi is large (but i think they might not be part of the Apistogramma genus anymore in the future).

Why are you specifically looking for large Apistos? I've seen stunningly large Ivanacara adoketa at my local fish store.

Hi!
Species like a. Steindachneri, atahualpa, megastoma and barlowi (-like Martin suggested) are considered large species. As far as i know.
About the looks.. -that’s up for you to decide.

A. macmasteri also can reach impressive sizes. Especially the infamously unhealthy domestic colour breeds.

Other than A. kullanderi, the largest species grown in aquaria are A. geisleri (A58) and A. wickleri, a domestic strain of A. steindachneri now lost.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
