i was actually contemplating if i should get a pair of apistogramma due to the recent influx of supply in lfs. After i got one pair a few weeks ago, decided to set up another tank. This should stop.

Sweet..! Managed to snag the 2 extra females from Aquarist Chamber. Kudos to them for allowing me the chance to buy 2 females as a "pair".
The male is already chasing them around. Hopefully all goes well..

So far so good! The larger female seems to be receptive to the male. I'm just a little worried for the smaller female. Going to have to buy more plants and another cave tomorrow so that the outcast has somewhere to hide!

any eliz breeder in this forum? Am planning to look to trade some juveniles in maybe 1 or 2 months times in order to increase the genentic pool.
Marle;
Why stop when the fun just started??
I see a lot of potential spaces for more tanks!!!
Re-organize a bit and there's more spaces for more!!
Existing Line Breeding List:
A.bitaeniata" Rio Tefe",A.bitaeniata" Mamuri",A.sp.Abacaxis,A.Piaroa"Colombia",A.uaupesi" Sao Gabriel",A.elizabethae"Sao Gabriel"
Coming soon: And any other species of Apistogramma!!
Ha..Ha... I'm just exploring the options for you...
Looking at the rack and the table size... if you re-organize everything again, sure can fit in a few more tanks.
And how often do you see an influx of different species of Wild caught or Tank raised apistogramma in Local fish shop??
And.... I'm not boss... I'm just a normal salary worker...

So my male Trifasciata has pretty much been chasing the larger female and forcing her into the cave where she's constantly hiding out now. The smaller female is just hiding amongst the wood and plants.
I'm a little worried about the females getting enough to eat now. The male seems to be chasing them the moment they leave their hidey holes. Should I be target feeding or trust that the females will be able to scavenge themselves.
