if the belly of the female caca is rounded what does that means?Normal times it would not been rounded.

Look from top. If the stomach looks bloated, it may be suffering from dropsy.

Hi benjamin216;
Have you seen or keep the German series of fishes before??
The wilhelmi super red elizabethae? Or the German series of Diplotaenia??
These are all captive breed apistogramma as well.. And these apistogramma are easily 10~15times more than the price of the fishes you see now..( Oh well,OK..this might be in the year 2005~2007)
But now with the existing imports of super red elizabethae from Taiwan or maybe even Germany, they do easily cost 5~6 times than your commonly seen species.
AND THEY ARE YOUR SO CALLED CAPTIVE BREED fishes.

So your statement do not really do justice to captive breed species.
With proper breeding program and quality control, captive breed apistogramma DO TURN OUT NICE.

Do try getting a nice pair of fishes, try to breed them and bring the babies up to sex-able age.
Than from there, you will truly understand why.

actually on the first day that i brought from stones this is what i obverved :Plump in the belly.Few days latter both male and female went into spawning doom.7 days latter: Belly of female spotted not plumped. female was inside cave.

[Milk]

Did the female change to yellow after the belly become normal??And it's aggressive towards the male...
If yes, she has spawned...
if no... she might have not eaten for 7 days...

And what's the condition of the male now??
Still having that big tummy/belly??

Yes I have German bred eliz, yes I breed them, yes I have some of the common species as well. Maybe I have a different understanding from what you have in mind. But I find your statement uncalled for. But the usual species that we see, comparing Taiwan captive bred to wild caught specimens of the same species and variant, I usually find wild to be more expensive, hence my assumption that captive bred should cheaper.

All in all, I find your statement rash and uncalled for, because you don't even know me to begin with.

Ken
if my statement offended you in any way, I offer my apologies.
