mcandros Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi i was just curious how to breed A. Macmastri is there anyway of telling the sex because mine are hard to distinguish. If they do breed how do you get a better success rate for eggs hatching and for the parents caring for them? If anyone can help it would be great. Thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abob Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 This is really quite freaky. I was actually logging on to ask if anyone had experience with Apistogramma macmasteri. I found out on the w/e my LFS can get in a heap of diff apistos at the moment, including a fair few wild caught. I had decided on a trio of A. macmasteri wild caught. I havn't found much info on them on the net but I have ordered the Mergus Cichlid atlas Vol 1 and hope it will contain some info. I got this off a german website (translated by google) : http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...hl%3Den%26lr%3D Sexing : The male is broader than the female. The dorsal fin of the male is longer and its caudal is red. PH Temp KH GH Min 6.0 23.0 2.0 2.0 Max 6.5 30.0 4.0 4.0 Let me know how you go. I'll probably be getting mine in a couple of weeks after I clear some space. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcandros Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 thanks for all your help, unfortunately my male has died and there are only 3 females left. I am ordering in a male on friday so hopefully he doesnt die too,im putting it in a hospitalisation tank first though to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
