Apisto borelli - the real Umbrella

morning moolis how are our fish doing this morning?

 

This morning they are all bright eyed and bushy tailed LOOKING FOR NEW HOMES

We did not lose 1 but the few days made a massive difference.

 

great to hear i will see you tomorrow

 

I am busy splitting the sexes to ease catching - WE expect to be very busy this weekend and ever minute is going to count.

 

@Moolis just to let you know @oscar freak is collecting two pairs for me tomorrow with his, collection.

 

I am confused!!!!!!

These look like females (colouration) but the dorsal fin is long like the males and now I do not know????

Any one out there that know more?? Could this all be males?

 

I hope not

 

WHat are we looking at?

 

It's not so easy to sex these guys when they are small... Females will go yellow when in breeding colours. They are one of the more difficult Apisto species to sex until they mature... I guess the best would be to take a bunch and let them pair off as they grow. Which is easy because they are so peaceful.

 

You are correct!! I am battling but there are fish that show stronger bar's than others and dominant males do not display aggression to them. So I can not guaranty the sexes but will do my best and spend time splitting the possible females

 

@Moolis I will still take my pairs, and take the chance

 

and so are a lot of other guys as well - they are going like free sweets at a school fair?

 

@Moolis As I have said @oscar freak is coming in tomorrow for his, and mine...

 

100% we are waiting for you
