Handsome D.maculatus seeking female fish.

[candidi]

Seeking female D.maculatus for my adult male fish.
Must be a confirmed D.maculatus because female checkerboard apisto are very hard to differentiate between simillar varieties.

have u tried Gan's? is it true that checkerboard changes sex depending on the environment? (read from some webby)

[candidi]

Among young checkerboard apistos it is really difficult to differentiate between M&f. Therefore a female looking young fish might actually mature in a handsome male fish.I do not think that they actually change sex, more of a case of mistaken identity.
Is Gan selling wild apisto? If it is true,I will not buy them. I try not to buy wild fish out of the fear of introducing unknown and stronger strain of parasites that our domestic fish might helpless against.
