I bit the bullet and spent a weeks wages on a pair of wild Aggies "Tefe"!
They have settled in well for wilds but are extremely shy!
This was the best photo i could get of the male.

Nice male, good size and colour.
Are these SLS stock?
I got some "Tefe redback" (not SLS), smaller size and still developing their colour at the moment. One of the pair has wigglers (3 days old), so they're definitely breedable.
Pity this pair are located in a tank which the flash creates too much reflection off the wall. Will have to wait for the fry to come out before any decent photos can be taken.

He looks great Ben. Looks like he's got quite a big meal to get through too!

Before Rob mention on his big meal - I was wonder what on earth is that clump of thing under him.
That's a lot of worm for an apisto If mine sees this photo, they'll protest.

Does anyone know what the 'tefe' are like from Bay fish or other commercial suppliers?
I can get a pair for $100 but am wondering what the quality is like.

According to some literatures (can't remember which one), the "Tefe" is potentially different species from the agassizi as it does not produce fertile youngs (or eggs - cannot remember) with normal agassizi.
And mine weren't from Bay - they've haven't importing apisto for a long time now (from my knowledge, unless they've changed recently).
