Also believe that the plants will grow much for the size of that aquarium, but I think I will get fix this with larger cuts of the leaves.

**ballsmyberries** · 30th Mar 2008, 12:22

Lee1224: Thanks for comment. Really is a species of apistogramma very beautiful. Mainly males.

Ballsmyberries: I agree whit you... the scape looks bare, but i think with more days the Ozelot of the side right go grow and go change this impression. Thanks for comment.

Now, more picture of the male

I was forced to withdraw a couple of aquarium, because they were fighting for territory, at the risk of dying.

The colors are very intense, especially like the slightly blue fins

Thanks for comment Zenislev. Really are very beautiful. In my opinion only to lose the wonderful discus fish of the Amazon.

Thanks Jervis. I would congratulates him on his beautiful cube. If you do not mind, I will use it as inspiration in my next assembly

I believe that the colour is intense like this for three reasons. The first is that the pH is at 6.6, the second reason is that the temperature is at 28 degrees celcius and the third is the diet itself to cichlid
