Kerrin Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It's been a while since I've been on here, been doing some other aquarium related things, getting stuck right into planted tanks, and the tang tank is looking a little worse for wear, but everything keeps on breeding in there so it's all good.My friend recently picked up a DSLR and has left it with me for a play around so I thought I'd heck up some pics of my apisto'sFirstly my Apistogramma sp. abacaxis. I originally thought I had all females, but over the last few weeks there has been some changes with one of them, and a pair has formed so I'm stoked. The male is still young so not fully coloured yet, but he looks great I think.Here's the pairAnd the female, I seriously wouldn't mess with her, she's staunch!And the young male, Glen i'd love your thoughts on whether I am right hereAnd something I picked up yesterday on an impulse, I couldn't pass it up, and he will be very happy sharing a very heavily planted 2ft with 19 cardinals I thinkHope you all enjoy!

Sloory Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Beautiful mate! I love apistogramma! And they're night shots! How's about another full tank shot?What ever happened with Cooders apistos? Haven't had an update from him in a while either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrin Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yeah that's a good question, hopefully they are doing well.I haven't got a good shot of the tank that the abacaxis are in but here's one of the tank that the trifasciata is in, this is the tank that's responsible for my inactivity on hereIt's been great learning about another facet of the hobby, and as everything is, a steep learning curve but I think it's evolving nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloory Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 That looks awesome mate! Hey no need to disappear, apisto's are cichlids too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The abacaxis is a definite boy, look at the ventrals. Black markings are the easiest visual to pick girls from boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrin Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Cheers gingerbeer, I was using the ventrals as a guide as well but up until about a month ago all 4 of them had black lines through their ventrals so that was what my assumption was based on. The dorsal extension and behaviour over the last 2-3 weeks has been what I think has sealed if for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
