Got this pair of apisto. trifasciata from doubleace. Now they are doing good in my 1.5 feet tank. Some photos taken,

Keeping fish as pets can be a rewarding hobby.
Designing and maintaining your aquariums is a wonderful creative outlet.
Watching your fish swim around is both relaxing and fun.

Thanks, andy and clint. I hope andy never work them too hard before they were sold to me.
Never get sick of fishes.. They are addictive..
Nice pair of Tri.. By the way.. Care to share a picture of your tank setup? Looks really good from the background of those pictures..
Err... my tank is really ugly, consists of one bog wood and some cheap crypts ( as they grow well under my "tough" environment ), gex substrate and 1 hang on filter.
Not sure about the spawning behaviour of trifasciata, but i suspect the female has spawned. The male has suddenly calmed down overnight, no longer swimming anxiously around the female's cave. Female will not leave the cave too long and no longer chased/afraid of the male.
get a torch light! yesterday my traifa spawned as well.. is your female very yellow? when my female is guarding the egg.. my male will be hiding most of the time..
My cave was made with indian clay lamp. Even with a torch, still can't see inside. Also, the entrance was placed facing the inner side of tank.
Not so yellowish or vivid, but judging from the behaviour. Anyway, still not sure, will know by next weekend.
This bugger very good at digging crater, make himself a huge hole under the bogwood.
Like the bluish color ( pardon the lousy shot) all over his body
just wait for a week and see if you get to see any fries anot..
yea.. i always like the blue on trifa and the reddish on the fins..
Finally confirmed that the female has spawned. Saw whole brood of free swimming fries resting on the roof top of the cave. Strangely, the female then started to have the bright yellowish color, and she only take in bbs, not the usual micro wafer and bloodworms.
The poor male has been in-prisoned inside a breeder box.
congrats bro!
Congrats too
thanks bro evo and magic.
Roof top party, with free flow of bbs.
One month old fries, about 1cm, good even growth rate feeding with live bbs.
Male isolated from female to prevent more breeding. Female still in yellow dressing, think anytime can breed.
