The alacrina you'll love, the nijsseni you will find quite pushy (aggressive) and a specie I no longer have. The Taeniatus " nigeria red are my favourite krib and the steindachneri are an easy to keep and breed apisto, the largest of all the Apistos and when mature can produce spawns of surprising size. Ocassionally you'll find one that develops a distinct blue sheen across the body - lovely. I would love to keep them again.

take care

I like your choices - especially the Apistogramma "Rotpunkt" (being as highly unlikely that the described fish for Alacrina is the actual one that we keep in the aquarium so I heard......)

Steindechneri is a bit overrated IMO - save your tank for the next species.....

The Taeniatus " nigeria red are my favourite krib

Mine too. I would love to get hold of a pair of these. Kribs were the very first fish I bred as a teenager, many years ago. I'll always have a soft spot for kribs.

:P

Apistoguy, how about some pics of your
Pelvicachromis Taeniatus " nigeria red " .

I'm dead keen to get hold of some fry from these beauties.

Hi

I shall post some pics over the w/e.

They are looking great , and the female has really coloured up in the belly.
They are constantly courting each other lately so Im hoping a spawn is not too far away.

cheers

Wow, they're good looking fish.

Now just play them some mood music, give them a nice romantic candlelit dinner, and we might get somewhere :P:P:P:P

Thanks Merrilyn

They are a great looking pair, looking much nicer now they have settled in.
Hope they like my choice of music lol

cheers Wayne

Beautiful pair Wayne. They look so much better than your everyday overbred colourless pulcher.
