Eugene,
All of them are so beautiful.
I like the viejita, the dorsal fin is awesome.
The red coloration is so intense.

I was bitten by the viejita bug today
Here's the male I have. I think it is quite young, judging by the size.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments! 4 solid hours of shooting, glad the pictures turned out ok.![]()
Was told the Ap. viejita is from Wilhelm's lineage, hence more reddish on the head/face. Check out the Ap. trifasciata throat, he's got a black throat! Something i thought was rather unique.
Hi nictc
Very nice male you have. Also, try not to resist the bug, resistance is futile...hehehe. Welcome to the unofficial Apistogramma Club!

May i enquire where did you buy them from?
Adoketa, Breitbinden, Paciquamis, Diplotaenia, Elizabethae, Mendezi, Inka, Agassizi, L046, L066, Crystal Red Shrimps

They are overseas imports. These Apistogrammas are not mine to begin with. I am just photographing them.

Wow! Nice pictures! They certainly look much better now that they've settled in. I really think the Apistogramma viejita "super red" has potential. The Apistogramma bitaeniata's base coloration looks nice too!
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
