Nice man. Any recent photo of the male?

[Milk]

Erumm.....Got no time to take picture liao..It's similer to the other one that you have saw before at my place???Think it's similer to your's also...just that the male is just begining to have it's dorsal growing into it pointed posteriorly...so it's seems shorter as compare to the other...

Hi guys;

I was talking to the guys who sold me this stuning pair and he comfirmed with me that this pair is actually an F1 from a pair of Wild Caught: :Rio Negro"
Therefore,it's should be F1 of "Rio Negro" and not "Barcelos"

Any updates on your fries development? what's your water pH? cause i've heard that A.diplotaenia fries are more sensitive. that they require lower pH otherwise will be affected with fungus growth. Is it true?

[Milk]

I have just taken these picture after water change....

Just wondering is A. diplotaenia "Rio Negro" less red then A. diplotaenia "Barcelos"?.

There are slight difference in colour...my other pair of A.Diplo also have red tips on it's dorsal fins,that pair is a Apistogramm Diplotaenia"Barcelos"..I strongly feels that it's the genes and the generation of the fish that cause the difference in colouration....

Well...seems like the female have lost it's brood caring colouration....But no worries...she will regain the colour soon...So what's the actual count of the fries now????There goes my hopes.....................

You mean to my house or Dimas's?

Why mine??????????
