Sillyfishies said:Aren't those apistogrammas?
severum mama said:This is a great 'starter apisto' because they are fairly undemanding in terms of care, and easy to breed. Triple red refers to the red coloration on the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins. Double red refers to a fish with red coloration on the dorsal and caudal, but not the anal fin. These varieties are the result of selective breeding.
Do you have any pics of your female? She will get a lot more flashy when the pair decides to spawn.
severum mama said:Actually, I think she looks really good for just being added yesterday. She will brighten up quite a bit and turn an intense yellow color if they decide to spawn.
severum mama said:I don't have any specific advice, no. Brine shrimp aren't terribly nutritious so you might want to consider something like frozen bloodworms or live blackworms for their live treats. I feed a combination of high quality pellet foods like NLS and Xtreme with occasional frozen treats. I just can't do blackworms, they are truly disgusting to me.
