What apistos are you keeping now?

**Memnoch** · 15th Dec 2006, 01:13

I'm keeping the following apistos: -
1 male Ap. agazissi (wild) replacement male for previous one that demised from popeye disease. This male is very agressive but never spawn despite the ready females.
2 female Ap. agazissi (wild) laid eggs before but eaten up

1 male Ap. Baenschi "Inka 50"
2 female Ap. Baenschi "Inka 50".

Hmm....maybe something is amiss, can try taking the male out when the eggs are fertilised....thats what I've always did and the eggs manage to hatch nicely

Looks like pertensis / agassizi group to me?

**wadzzup** · 16th Dec 2006, 21:30

Congratulations!!!

My guess is the A.elizabathae!

**Cacatuoides** · 16th Dec 2006, 23:42

Oh ya....wilson should be the best person who can identify the female as he once told me A.elizabathae female has 2 dots!!!

Hi all!

I'm new in this forum but not that new with aquaria

living in Portugal and often I visit this awsome site looking for infomation or just passing some time.

Just want to share with you guys that I bought a male and female A.Viejita two weeks ago . I can confirm now the are a couple because since yesterday I see a proudly mama with her fry swimming around and taking care of them

**genes** · 18th Dec 2006, 21:27

Hello pg

Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear your Ap. Viejita is breeding.

My Apistogramma Bitaeniata "Tefe Bauana" Wild
Pic here cannot justify the beauty of this fella..

Eugene

The pic already very beautiful... i so jealous...

**Cacatuoides** · 19th Dec 2006, 00:00

Hey eugene!!!

You've been hiding a lot of "precious gems" in your tanks lately!!! Take more pictures and share them!!!

Great stuff bro!

**Milk** · 19th Dec 2006, 10:38

Hey Eugene;
Nice looking pair of Wild A.Bitae"Tefe"

Wish i have such beauty inside my tank...

Let me know if you intend to give them up ya???

Humm....Think the picture can be better with better lighting...Try putting 1x 36watts of pl light on top of the tank before you take the picture...It should light up the picture better...that will actually justify the beauty of the Apisto...

You might want to also crop your picture more closely to bring out the fish...

**genes** · 19th Dec 2006, 13:24

You guys got good cameras. I'm using the non-zoom fuji camera for my pictures.

Well...i did think of that..but i don't have the time yet to process all the picture that i taken...

I seriously don't think the camera plays a big part...play with your camera more often...than you will know what your camera can do...Want to see some picture i took using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5??

Ha...Ha...sorry everyone...the above picture are being taken using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5...My mistake...The next picture is being taken using my olympus E500
