I think should seperate the threads between Ivanacara and Apistogramma.
So Adoketa Keepers report here.

Good fish ain't cheap... Cheap fish ain't gd...
Breeding Apisto inca and Apisto guttata...
Hi Bro, thanks for the compliment. Initial stage, male will chase the female ferociously. Now they are sort of bonded. Just flaring and wriggling of bodies side by side. Side note to take note. I cannot put tankmate with them as they killed almost every tankmate i put in.

Wow that is kind of challenging to keep them.. guess is not cheap also.. the marking on their face is awesome plus those redness on their body..

Hi henry, can you share how you identify the male and female？ From your photos, they look very similar to me.
Actually picture cannot justify the fishes, the fishes in my tank somehow look different from picture. My male red blotches on the head are much redder and also the fins also.
The female fins are like reddish brown much duller compare to the male. But how to sex really i got no idea but female is really much smaller than the male.

All sexing are done by the supplier. When i got them, was told smaller one is female.

I see, thanks for the info. I hope the pair will make babies soon.
Hope so. One thing for sure, they are not like Apistogramma. One male and female keep in a tank not equal to breeding. My pair just showing some bonding after 1 month or so.

My wildcaught pair self brought in from Hong Kong:
Male:
Female:
They appear to be bonded but no spawning action yet. I use Nannostomus unifasciatus and Nannostomus marilynae as dithers and the adoketas leave the pencils alone.
Illumnae, maybe your tank bigger. Moreover my adoketas finnage not so long as yours. I just want to keep them nicely.

Maybe mine finnage so long that it cover the breeding tube, so the female cannot see so she never lay eggs!
Haha...nice one..

Wow, very poisonous stuff that illuminae posted. The thing about adoketa, it is very nice to own one. However, it's fairly expensive and difficult to sex.
Hopefully some of us can get them to spawn and hatch.
