Congratulations What a great prize. A pair like this would easily cost $80 where I live. He's an absolute beauty.

$16 for the pair I feel like I got a deal! Plus there F1 so that's a plus. Aquabid finally came through. And I'm getting the dominant male out of the group. There going in my planted 20 with a dwarf gourami, 4 panda loaches, a dozen rummy nose tetras, 3 asassin snails and random pond snails.

The picture is of a wild caught apistogramma cacatuoides "peacock cichlid" I'm getting a pair from his first batch of babies with a wild caught female. I'm getting the dominant male and whichever female the breeder says seems like a good candidate.

Here's a picture from live aquaria of one that's fully colored.

I already feed the tank there in New Life Spectrum 0.5mm small fish formula wich I'm hoping will be good. Please do shareThere about 1/2" long and about 4 months old the guy I got them from lives local so I met up with him qt a petsmart in between us so I could skip shipping charges he isw a nice guy. I bet the employees there were all like seriously....

Very cool, your tank is beautiful love the plant choice. They will surely be happy in there. Take some more pictures in a day or so and their colors will be ridiculous

Mabey we can get a mod to change the title to something like Let's see those Apistos! And turn this into a thread showing off videos and pics of everyone's apistos.

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

The nls is plenty good. I feed mine 1mm Cichlid but they are a little bigger. They aren't the most coordinated or at least mine aren't often times food floats pass them and they miss it do I Feed some flakes as well

If they come out I will. My phone does better videos than pictures but my ex is a photographer and I told her to bring her camera next time she comes over so I can get some good pics of all my tanks.
