Can anyone out there tell me how to tell the females from the males?
I have 6 of them (wildcaught) and none have black on their ventral fins. They might be all males. However occasionally, a couple get dark ventrals fins once in awhile. This is especially true when I first turn on the tank light and the fish are all kind of dark. This is when a couple have very noticable dark ventral fins
Does anyone know what acidity and softness they need their water to be?
Their water is neutral right now, if I do have both males and females, this could be why they haven't displayed any breeding behavior or colors. I have a barrel of peatwater started that I plan to add some to their tank.
Any other helpful facts about "Apache"?
AKA names?
I saw an old post where they might have 6 or 7 AKA names! Like "Masken" and Cruzi. Are these all the same species? Or different but related?
Pictures or link to pictures?
Thanks,
Michael
