Apistogramma agassizii 'Flamingo'

[Simon]

The male is not at his best, caudal and end of dorsal has to heal up and develop. Realise I got another male in my trio, hopefully I may be wrong

[thanantosis]

the top fins is beautiful!!!

nice!!!

[benetay]

Is this apisto given a trade name? Any information on this apisto? The dorsal fin is stunning!

[Simon]

I believe so, not much information on the net. But valice might have more info, since he have a pair since last year

[trident]

Simon,
Good to see the color coming back. Nice dorsal.
I think that tank no more female.

[Simon]

But there should still be some nice male in the tank for those who don't want to breed

[doubleace]

nice dorsal color.. from NKS?

[valice]

As with all Peruvian imports, they have very fanciful trade names.
For the exact import locality, it is pretty unknown. Maybe from Rio Ampiyacu?

[Simon]

doubleace, yes he is from nks

valice, you sure about the river?

[valice]

Looking back at my old photos, it should be Rio Nanay. The finnage can be spectacular!

This is my guy. Still alive but much bigger.

[thanantosis]

but are they body shape always like that?..

the thin type?....

even when we pump them with food.?

will their body be broad?

[valice]

What's your definition of "broad"?
Like A.cacatuoides? Yes, they will when they age and are well fed.

[thanantosis]

hi yep my "broad" means like A.cacatuoides, or even better like A.viejita.

glad to hear that Apistogramma agassizii will have broad body if well fed.

[Simon]

no, agassizii will be turn broad body, it has to be the characteristic of the species, like caca/viejita/hongsloi, these species are broad body in nature. Aga/eliz/mendezi are considered slim

Yo Simon,
Very nice dorsal colours and orange head somemore.. its a steal.
Bet it will look even better after 1 month of conditioning.

[thanantosis]

ok got it. thanks for the explaination. i guess i more into those broad body type hmmm hongsloi.... but your Apistogramma agassizii 'Flamingo' is really nice

[Simon]

Yorkseng, I'm more worried about the female, she ain't got a chance to feed

Thanantosis, I too like broad body species, but agassizii has always been a favorite

[thanantosis]

yep due to their fins colour, agassizii is nice. and their tail is different too... nice

there is 1 type of agassizii that i love. the fire red. but real hard to get in singapore

[Simon]

after a week, now less shy, also both females are fine. Might want to introduce them into my 4ft soon

[trident]

Simon,
Are you sure this is the same fish?
wow the tail color is beautiful
I should have bought this!
