Thanks for the info Thomas, I did see his add. I only really want 1 male as I have a female currently and they would be in a community tank with a few Bitaeniatas ( by the way Rav I think that 3rd one i got may be male) so might be dramas. Having said that I may still check them out, just realized he is near my place.
Are they your offspring Thomas?

Rav, you would know of any links to websites that would have any pics of these new apistos you are getting in?

[Th0mas]

Yep, Chris' Inka are from my program.

They are around 6 months old now, and in the middle of colouring up.

Thomas.

Hi All,

I have ask for help in getting some links for the photos of these new apistos from one of the Dwarf Experts. Attached below are his comments with the links. Will post some more PIC's later.

from what I've been able to ascertain about the species you've posted, the Apisto melgar is definitely the Ap. sp. nanay ... all I've been able to find is two images of a female

and this one of a male

the girl is extremely colourful for an apisto female ...I know yours are sub adult, so the colour won't show like that ... still looking for another image of a male. apparently there's two colour morphs of these, one more blue and the other has more yellow. it's related to the Apistogramma cruzi ... the papagei is also from the same complex.

the paracas is apparently a form of eunotus with an orange tail, as I've already talked to you about
here's a better photo of a eunotus

Ravi, would you please hold 4 Apisto Melgar for me.
Two males and two females if you are able to sex them.

Thanks.
