suemack Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 hi there - haven't worked out the posting of photos yet but is the photo on my avatar a male apisto borellii? Doesn't look like the pics in any of the books or websites - there was a suggestion it may be a regani sp. He sometimes has a dark stripe through the eye, female has darker markings......sometimes :-? Behaviour is fairly aggressive for an apisto - moves the keyholes, cories and everyone else in the tank away from food. Cool little guy though - would like to breed him but have to work out a way of having him in the same tank as the missus without him killing her! thanks - sue :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 possibly a photo of the missus will appear :-? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hi there Sue - the most recent import of these was miss-labelled as borelli, they're more commonly sold as blue-faced agassizi. It's not borelli or a form of agassizi. The Baensch atlas of South American Dwarf Cichlids indicates that it is an (as yet) undescribed species that should more correctly be sold as Apisto. sp. 'Steel Blue' See if this link is what you've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
