Purchased as female WC A. cacatuoides, looking for confirmation. Rarely shows slight yellow coloration on the face, but usually presents as grey. She's housed with a 3" male, also pictured---they seem to get along fine, and she can flip her belly or flick her tail to deter his aggression. Ventrals and dorsal are quite spiked, more so than my confirmed female, so if anyone could help, it'd be appreciated.

At that size it is just about becoming sexually mature. Give it another month or two to mature. If at 2"/5cm it hasn't shown more male features then it most likely is a female.

Hello Martin, though I am not sure if I am adressing the right person, I still hope I am. I got 2 trios of Apistogramma psammophila from you some time ago. I was lucky to breed them, too, but, unfortunately, I got mainly males, 15, and only 2 females. That's why today, I have only three males left.
Kind regards, Michael (Hagen-Hohenlimburg)
He recalled that General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm had praised these achievements, noting that institutions are no longer the main bottleneck to development, with challenges now lying in implementation.
Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.
