Very very beautiful blue speckles on the face. Nice finnages too.
Finally decide to buy another pair of Apistogramma after the departure of my triple red 3 mths ago.I had pick up this last pair from Biotope 2 days ago.Quite settle down now with big appetite on dry and live food.Female is nowhere to be seen and occasionally came from hiding to whack the male for nothing.Very cool pair,hoope that they can survive longer that the triple red(for 6 months only)

nice catch bro , very intense colour.....wow good chance the female is in the mood...hope it spawn for you ..how about more hiding place for your pair, java fern will be nice ...good luck
that's a very beautiful fish you have gotit does sound likely that spawning has occured...keep your fingers crossed and all the best!
wow it does seem that the agassiziis from the last batch of german apistos brought in by Thio are a prolific bunch...many reports of them spawning as soon as they get into the new tankmaybe the changing of tanks is akin to changing large amounts of water and triggers their spawning mood?
I think that the surrounding play a part also,they are too disturb in the shop with keen buyers like me going there a few times just to confirm to buy them.Ha Ha
The female is still hiding and the body turn yellowish,even on the stomach also.Maybe it is baby making time.
The male has started to flare at the mirror and respond to my finger when it is close to the tank.
Another nice pair of collection Thanks to Mr Thio.
mictok,
congrats on a nice catch. sure sounds like they are in breeding mode.
you guys are all the lucky ones, the vijeita I bought turned yellow but fade off after a few days with no sign of eggs or fries.

Congrats on your new purchase. This pair looks good.
Maybe you would like to add in some more plants like a java fern on wood to give the pair more hiding place.

Wow that is awesome dude...
Here's hoping you see some babies soon.
If I were a fish, I'd BREED all Day!
Nice male you've got there, is this an Agassizi "Double Red"?

i think it's the last remaining agassizii "Super Red" from thio's last german shipment
Its written Super red.
What will be a better choice of breeding ground,drift wood with ferns, flower pot ......?
Currently I had constructed a rock cave where the female is hidding and some nanas around it.
Hi Eman,I still miss the pair of triple red I bought from you,how is the adult pair now?

Nice catch there!!
I was struggling to choose this "Super-red" pair or the "red-black" two weeks ago at Biotope.![]()
good catch! very intense colouration! do update us if they spawn! as long as your tank has enough hiding places and do your water changes faithfully, i'm sure you'll start seeing little fries swimming around in no time!!

This afternoon the female brought her 30 fries out for a swim,very proud mother.Keep my finger cross,will be on course for the next 2 days from 9am to 9pm,hope nothing will go wrong.
As long as you feed them once a day, the female will do the rest
Feed them bbs in the morning before you leave...at least they're fed for the day
Congrats on your spawn!!![]()
