Apistogramma sp galaxis MALE

Hopefully some 'action' soon... :wink:

[Jitticus]

Well, there won't be any action if you keep paparazzi-ing them.

[alfredliow316]

ok ok! Will be covering the tank with a piece of cloth!

[exotic_idiot]

Looks a bit like mine sp.papagei..
Nice blue cheeks...
May i know where you got it from?

[genes]

Its a peruvian fish so should be from the recent imports from NKS. A very nice specimen you scooped!

did you just mention NKS? Wow..

[stormhawk]

Very nice male Alfred.

[alfredliow316]

The honour should go to Jitticus for sexing the fishes in a tank full of stressed apisto. Took us an hour,kneeling down as the tank was located at 'not so comfortable' .

Very nice fishes indeed. A totally different look after it has stable down.

[exotic_idiot]

Find one day we go together?
I know nuts about sexing unless the female display yellow dressing.
And the apisto there all almost colourless...

[joopsg]

Ben, if the water is clean and not black. just bring along a mirror.
Lure the alpha male out, it should be the fittest. ( making him flare at his reflection)
then from carry on from there.

[exotic_idiot]

Thanks henry, but we won't know whether the boss there would mind us putting a mirror inside his tank.
Honestly I think jittus is very good at picking fish good eyesight..!

[joopsg]

no need to put inside the water.
just place it beside the tank.

[exotic_idiot]

Really very nice.. The more I see the more I'm deeply poison..
Will use your method but it's better to have an extra eye.
Haha don't know whether now still any pair left at there?
Gotta hurry setup my tanks been lazying around for long time..

[Jitticus]

Hi exotic, i sit infront of my apisto tanks and basically stare at them for hours.
Most differences between males and females are species dependent. For instance, in bitaeniata, the ventral length is very as an indicator.
For galaxis, look at body color.

[exotic_idiot]

Hi jitticus, thanks for the information.
Think i can't squat there for hours, been there once and squat there for around 20 mins and got backache man...

[joopsg]

Ben, Bring a stool to sit.
If not, go army market get a field chair

[exotic_idiot]

Thanks henry, will do it one day.
Hahaaa don't really want to stress my back too much
Alfred, any updates? Would loves to see more pics of the male.

[Jitticus]

On the same note, I believe that all the galaxis males have been taken. You could possibly find some bitae females and shishita females but i'm thinking perhaps you'd need to sift through the whole tank.

[johannes]

Nice apisto bros... the squatting paid off...! haha

*where is the shishita male picture?

[Jitticus]

Ask and you shall receive!
