Stunning Apistogramma macmasteri from C328!

**genes** · 3rd Nov 2007, 00:44

Saw this superb specimen of Ap. macmasteri at C328 yesterday and was immediately awed by it. Was at C328 again today and saw that the pair has been reserved. Anyone here bought that pair? If you did, i wish to shoot some photos of your stunning male!

i also went today and saw the pair.
the male red neck is so stunning.
but also saw it was reserved already.

Yah man...young specimen, deep red face with blue specks, red ventrals, not too broad body. The perfect concoction of a good looking apisto. Reminds me of a wilhelm Ap. viejita.

**tcy81** · 3rd Nov 2007, 02:12

actually i didnt see the name on the fish tank.
i thought it is a Ap. viejita.
still cant really tell the difference between Ap. viejita and Ap. Macmasteri

Eugene,
Why don't you buy it? Will add on to your fantastic collection.

Actually didn't thought of buying when i saw on thursday. Just thought what a beautiful specimen from C328

. Was there to spend some money again yesterday and pair was reserved. If not, i may have bought it then.

Well, i cannot differentiate confidently an Ap. viejita and an Ap. macmasteri as well. Be it some caudal peduncle spot or lateral bands... sometimes they just look so similiar. Thats why in the market, sometimes, Ap. viejita is sold as Ap. macmasteri and vice versa. However, i feel that Ap. viejita should have a much slender body then the Ap. macmasteri which has a broader body.

I thought it was there quite some time already. Ya very intense red almost got the intention to buy it. Lately their quality of certain apistos are really good.

**iwishweallcouldwin** · 4th Nov 2007, 00:57

agreed. if i'm not wrong, samuel, a new member in this forum, is the one who bought it. i was the one who introduced and 'poisoned' him hehe... that's a nice pair.

**Cacatuoides** · 4th Nov 2007, 01:18

Great, it seems that we have hunted down the new owner!!
Eugene, time to take out your lenses!!
Can't wait to see this magnificent specimen everyone is talking about,
I haven't seen a really nice Ap. Macmasteri in ages

**genes** · 4th Nov 2007, 09:00

Mr Samuel! Where are yoooouuuu!!!???

**hanz0my** · 4th Nov 2007, 10:17

LOL!! Eugene's gonna hunt Mr. Samuel down!!

**Samuel2618** · 4th Nov 2007, 10:56

Hi.. Samuel here.. Just joined this forum on thursday.. Ya.. When Clinton told me about that pair of stunning macmasteri.. I immediately went down to C328 to buy them.. Stunning pair but I think Bro Clinton got an even better and nicer pair of macmasteri.. Cheers.. to all apisto lovers..

Welcome to the apisto club Samuel

**Samuel2618** · 4th Nov 2007, 11:23

Thanks Cacatuoides!!

Just started on Apistos not long ago.. But it's really fun to watch these little creatures swimming around the tank..

**trident** · 4th Nov 2007, 12:47

Samuel,
Welcome to AQ and the Apisto world.
Clinton is an expert with Apisto, so it's good
to see him helping you out.
Now to wait for Eugene to go shoot the macmasteri.
Richard

**iwishweallcouldwin** · 4th Nov 2007, 16:52

haha not true man samuel... i think yours is better... mine's a different batch from yours... but if yóu're planning to breed them please let me know so that we can swap partners to prevent inbreeding!!! in that case the quality of the fries would not be compromised...
seems like you really caught the apisto bug... owells, good catch! haha... if you need any advice on apistos can feel free to discuss your queries online, this forum has lots of experienced and friendly apisto keepers who can really help you alot! and no richard, i am seriously far from being an expert in apistos! i am still a beginner in aquarium keeping really. people like eugene, dimas and many many more are the real pros! anyways, welcome to the apisto club samuel! may your pair of macmasteri be the first of the many other good quality apistos to come!!!

Thanks Clint for the complements. I am no pro too. Just like you, we're beginners!

Hi Samuel, welcome to the addictive and unofficial "Apistogramma Club". Where do you stay and what is your tank setup like? That was a good buy at a good price. One of the redder varient i have seen so far.

**doppelbanddwarf** · 4th Nov 2007, 20:25

Hi samuel welcome to AQ and apisto-keeping. Like you i'm quite new to them. Sounds like you got a great buy.

Eugene, I'm really looking forward to you posting photos of the fish when you are done.

**illumnae** · 4th Nov 2007, 21:50

welcome to the apisto club =) may your new addiction be ever fulfilling

**iwishweallcouldwin** · 4th Nov 2007, 21:54

yupz can't wait for the photos to be up! too bad i really can't afford to free up any tank space now, if not i would have gotten that pair for myself!
