very nice shots!! And I think I spotted your avatar amongst all those photos.

 

[Big Vine]

Yes, very nice indeed! I think I spotted your avatar pic in there too.
Refresh my memory here, Jeff...how big are these guys now and how large do you expect them to grow? Any signs of spawning yet---I'm assuming they're paired-up, right?

Nice fish!

Awesome shots/fish. Great color to them.

Awome shots.......

They only get a max of 2.5-3" -- so not much bigger than they are now.

They're a loose pair at this point - no signs of spawning, but that's because my water is too hard. Gotta get it down if anything is to happen (and I plan on it).

Also, apisto males like to have "harems" of females to choose from -- but I doubt I'll find another female or two of this species around here. We'll see if this pair hits it off once I get the water right, though.

Thanks all

I think it's funny that the female is so much of a better "model" than the male...
