dxchen's Apistogramma trifasciata

[dxchen]

Hi all,

It has been quite some years since I last bred Apistos. Dropped by C328 and saw a pair of trifiscata on Thursday and decided to try it out again. Hopefully they will breed soon. Here are some shots to share

Cheers,
DX

Hello DX,

Nice Ap. trifasciata. What species were you breeding previously?

dxchen,
nice looking fellow.
beautiful photography.

[dxchen]

Thanks Eugene. I have bred A.borelli and A.agassizii before never tried A.trifasciata before so decided to give it a try. The male is rather aggressive think i have to increase the amount of hiding places for the female.

Thanks Richard. But i think i still have much more to learn regarding aquarium photography. This is only my 2nd attempt at it. Please feel free to criticize and give me some pointers. =)

I love the borders and the fonts chosen!

I agree, the fonts and overall looks very professional!

dxchen,
I am very new to photography too.
I love the border too, looks like something you see in a good aquarium book.
Sorry to sidetrack a bit, but where did you get the borders from?
Thanks

nice piece. makes me tempted to get 1 myself

[dxchen]

Thanks guys haha looks like my border if getting quite some of attention. I did an automated script in photoshop some time back to frame the better photos. For those interested can drop me a pm I can send you the script itself.

blackghost, you can drop by c328 to check if they still have. Think you can request for it if they don't have stock.

Valice, sorry for the incorrect species spelling. Thanks for editing will take note of it. =)

Quite refreshing to rear these fishes once again. However, the male seems rather territorial and I doubt the female is ready to breed too. Guess I shall have to pump them up with bbs till that one fateful day.

Go get! Take it as a new fish for the new year! 2 years ago, i rushed to C328 to get my self a red Ap. cacatuoides for the chinese new year.

thanks bros for the encouragement. but to get a pair very hard. ordered a pair from c328. but cause i'm doing my NS.. the initial training.. so have to wait till i book out.. very hard to collect. conflicting schedules..

probably giving my cousin the pair as a gift.. but will try out for 2 weeks personally.. if the poison hits. then i will start with apistos
