Apistogramma Agassizii

[jayc]

So ... I visited my LFS after it reopened from lockdown due to a particular reason we all know about.

Initial intention was to go in there to pick up some frozen foods, as I had used it all up since lockdown. And maybe a Mystery snail to help eat up algae in one of my tanks.

But then I saw this fella and could not resist buying the pair.

(cropped the picture to hide the mess in my quarantine tank)

 

Have not been able to take a picture of the female. It's hiding and won't come out when I'm around.

However I am concern it's a not really a female but a sleeper male. ? Hope I'm wrong.

He’s a cutie! Gotta love apistos. Hopefully the ‘female’ really is a female, looking forward to seeing a photo.

He sure is.

Maybe why I couldn't resist buy them. And I've always liked the Agassizii fin shape.

 

The female is still hiding.

I have added some Neon Tetras as dither fish. Let' see if that will give the female more confidence.

Very niice fish, and the apisto are ones I hope to have a try one day!!! They aren't widely available locally though and our postal service is still in a mess............
