New article! Apistogramma sp. "D10"

[Tom C]

Today I have the pleasure of publishing on our site:

An exquisite and thorough article, where most aspects of a mouth-breeding Apistogramma from Colombia are reviewed in detail.

Frank Hättich and Roland Kipper's wonderful article about Apistogramma sp. "D10", a new mouthbrooder from Colombia.

Enjoy!

..... those females with the fin extensions are amazing!

Yes, no wonder I believed they were males, when I first got them. This was one of them:

One of the females I got from Tom:

Is there any other Apisto species in which females get long dorsal and anal extensions like these?

 

[Frank Hättich]

I don't know of any other species Gerald.

Hello. I salute all my masters. 3 days ago I bought a pair of German made Apistogramma D10 cichlid fish. I wanted to share with you the first days of their life, which lasted in a 48 liter tank with plenty of plants, at a value of conductivity 51 ppm, ph 6.4 and heat 26 celcius. I don't know exactly how popular this genre is. I read the article under this title. I was wondering if there was any new information about this species in the past 7 years. Have a nice day...

 

[Frank Hättich]

Two other species similar to D10 and D50 have been found so that there is now a D10-group in the species list. Some years ago it was said that D10 will be scientifically described very soon, but so far this didn't happen.

Thank you very much, apistogramma.com editorial team ve Josh. Thank you for allowing me to share my Apistogramma Sp. D 10 female in this way. Have a nice day...

 

[Frank Hättich]

Thank you for allowing me to share my Apistogramma Sp. D 10 female in this way. Have a nice day...

Since the fish in this picture shows a pronounced pattern in the caudal fin (and also in the anterior soft part of the dorsal) I'm sure that it's a male.

 

[D 10]

Hello again. Thank you, Mr. Master. They travel with what I consider to be a man. Let me share your photos. Have a nice day.

 

[Frank Hättich]

The two fish in your latest pictures are for sure both males.

 

[D 10]

The two fish in your latest pictures are for sure both males.

Thank you, Master. I evaluated the relationship between these two fish as a couple relationship. I would be happy if other Masters also expressed their opinions on this subject. Have a nice day...

 

[Tom C]

One of my females A sp. "D10":

No pattern in the posterior part of the dorsal fin, no pattern in the caudal fin.
Sorry, but as Frank told you: you have only showed us photos of males.

 

[D 10]

Hello again. The fact that Apistogramma Sp. D 10 is a new species and that we have insufficient and incomplete information about this species misled me. I would like to thank all the masters who informed us about this issue. For this reason, messages in which I refer to fish as pairs may be deleted by forum officials. The friend I bought the fish from will try to find me a female. If I can get a female, I hope to post pictures again. Have a nice day...
