    Sun Pet has a nice Trifa male in one of the smaller display tank.
    Maybe you can ask them to sell it to you.

    Hi Venom;
    Has it ever occur to your that the genetic of the fishes that you are breeding are already weak?
    Highly breed apistogramma or any life forms not only have birth defects, but also affects birth rates and survival rates of the off-spring.

    What will be prone to sickness and diseases??
    1:A genetically strong species??
    2:A genetically weak or deformed species??

    Any other external factors are the species are stressed or there's a deficiency nutrients and minerals to withstand diseases and bacteria attacks/ invasion.

    Hi bro Milk

    No, bro Venom is just a serial apistos killer.

    Seriously, farm-bred fish are susceptible to in-breeding where the defective genes are concentrated. What's more, the likelihood of a sibling pairing is great if we buy from the same batch. That's why, occasionally, although I already have the species, I will try to buy others, especially if I can determine that they are from different sources.

    Well it is good that all old timers making a comeback to Apistogramma.

    EdwinTay: i believe we should encourage each other and support each other for the passion of this hobby.

    Venom: If you want intend to get a replacement Trifisciata do let us know maybe we can help you look at it before purchase. At times, fish may not be healthy before you purchase. Eventually died in your care.

    Milk: Prepare to join the dark side again....

    I was advised to give my Adoketas a balance diet. Previously kept my apistogramma with live feed diet, they spawn regularly. So now for Adoketas pelllets, FBW and live feed when possible.

    If you look at the hybrid steel blue, it is such a hardy specie.
