Those pics are a lot better Flaggy. He doesn't look as sh!tscared as he did in the other ones :lol: :lol:

I've never actually noticed the white fleck patterning in the caudal and dorsal before :? :?

I love Andrews photo of his female. Beautiful brood colouration and clear, dark and complete striping. As far as apisto females go, she's a stunner. :shock: :wink:

i think sunlight has a good effect on colouration

most of my apisto breeding was in a glass room on the house.. damn stupid considering it is england

as you can see the algae in with mum has lots of chlorophyll and i'm sure has lots of nutritious carotene and pigment inducers
also i fed a lot of daphnia and cyclops, also grown in sunlight to try and get more greens into the fish

i wonder whether astaxthin and such would improve it further?
