jacian's diary of keeping Apistogramma

[jacian]

Hi Jacian,

Happened to be from Andy's shipment? I also had him bought me a pair. 2nd shot of the male looks great. I was skeptical about the female too as I felt she/he is still juvenile to see any form of dimorphism.

Yes, I suppose it is the same shipment.
Let us keep our finger crossed that it is a she not a he.

i like the black fade at the edge of the caudal of your elizabethae jacian...very nice

[jacian]

Glad you like it, thanks.
Hopefully, they can spawn soon.

The first batch of agassizii frys is now about 2.5 months old now. They have been transfered to a 2ft tank now. Last count there are about 90+ of them.



Some close-up photos, the colour is showing up now.

My new Apistogramma sp. "Miua" I bought from Taiwan. Too bad I didnt not managed to get a pair but 2 males.

[EvolutionZ]

wow! 90 piece from a spawn? thats really alot!
nice strawberry and miua you have!

[illumnae]

Wow, that's alot of fries and good collection of apisto. Saw biotope also selling apisto. "mius", maybe can get from them since you got a sneaker.

BTW, saw your previous post on partitioning the 2 ft tank. Do the LFS selling those acrylic isolator or i have to cut them myself?

[oblivion]

as far as i am aware, biotope's last batch of miua has no females......
unless there's a new batch that came in with females

[mobile2007]

ok, no wonder i only spotted a lone male inside the tank. I asked the old uncle, he told me the female is hiding behind the java fern.

I got my acrylic isolator from C328. I asked for the 1ft without any holes. Too bad they only have the transparent one.

i saw 2 males

there must be some confusion going on

i think the uncle also not sure lah. I saw only 1 male , then i asked him whether there is a pair inside the tank. He also not very sure, look a while, then said " the female must be hiding behind the fern.." haha, probably he also can not find the other fish.

female?
i saw 2 males

i wanted to get the miua but gave up as there were no females
waiting for their next batch to arrive.. hopefully with females
anyway i need to setup a new tank for it also

now seeing jacian's specimens just made me more "gian" only

The rest of time during feeding time

[mobile2007]

Amazing sight of the feeding time. So many young fries.

Wondering what are you going to do so many ?
