Apistogramma viejita

**lcwei96094** · 7th Dec 2009, 12:18

This is my very first pair of Apisto. I bought them from a breeder and he told me they are a wild caught F1. After keeping them for 2 months, the body color is still rather "dull", just a bit light yellow. I'm using ADA II and feed them frozen blood worms and fish pellet too.

The female (?) is at the back. I will try to capture a clearer photo later.

So far they still haven't spawn yet.

Many times viejita sold in LFS can be macmasteri or a hybrid instead. If you're lucky, they are the real deal. The male is looking great. Maybe give them a few days to get used to the tank, then take a picture.

They have been in the tank for 2 months already and the color still like in the photos.

I feed NLS thera A+ to my aggassizzi amadeus pair. Nice colours shown after 1 week when they settled in the tank.

Care to share where to get the best-priced NLS?

I got my NLS thera A+ from c328, the one with garlic content sized at 1mm pellets. Never really compared the price before that. Think c328 should be one of the lfs for good price of NLS products.
