    Got Mr Gan to catch me a pair of the fish to try. When I got home I am suspecting both are males. Can our ApistoManiacs help to confirm the species and sex? Thanks.

    Simon: Looks like I have to get 2 more females to keep these guys company.
    How to tell a female Rotkeil? Your website only showed a male.

    Ken: No problems. 2.5ft tank for Apistos - that's a nice idea. Maybe later in the year when little juggler can walk first. Quite short of time, man!

    I got one more A. macmasteri today from Gan's, hopefully a female this time.

    This is one more fish I got from Gan's. Can help ID?

    Was hoping it is a female A. macmasteri. Some characteristics of this fish is that its dorsal, anal and caudal fins remain close like in the picture. Caudal spots in the centre and tail area appear when fish is more frighten. And kena chased by the male A. macmasteri.



    Simon: Not sure if it is A. gibbiceps because it is still small at < 1.5". Can't see distinct abdominal stripes.
    Benetay: Is it a female A. Rotkeil? Since you have the female of this version..

    Thanks.
