I was told of a supposedly nice LFS yesterday when I was looking around, and I had to go and do a bad thing and go look around there, I knew I shouldn't because I would end up taking something home with me (which I did) but I went anyway.
It was pretty amazing, I have to admit, they had keyholes, and discus, and really freaking big angelfish, and loads of kribensis at a cheap price (unlike the 8 dollar a piece ones at the place closer to home) and really cute tanganyikan cichlids and rummy nose tetras which I had never seen in real life before (and god are they lovely)
Anyways, I found some apistos there, and I was dying to give them a go. They weren't extravagant looking in the slightest, but they're also tiny as all hell. My little 1.5 inch black skirt tetras put their size to shame.
Luckily, I've had no dispute yet. I was a little afraid that my firemouth would rip them to pieces, but he hasn't been aggressive since. Well. Ever. I've actually never even seen him flare his red throat before.
I'm assuming these guys are too young to be gendered, but I guess it's possible they're not. How big are they before they start showing more male or female traits? These two look definitely female to me, if they're not too small to be gendered. I'll get some pictures up after work.
With my firemouth being the big wuss he/she is, would it be smart to add a male apisto to the tank if both these ones are female?
