Apistogramma borellii fry

[peathenster]

I bought a trio of Apistogramma borellii at an auction two weeks ago....paid a lot (Apisto standard anyway) because the male is the largest and nicest Apistogramma I've seen in person.

Both females disappeared a few days after I got them...well today one emerged with a small group of fry

Second Apisto species I spawned in the last month. Wish I had another 20g - my A. macmasteri are desperate

Here is a video of the female guarding fry (you can see a few on the driftwood) -

lol not the 90g...not until I think down the stock

What about A. viejita? They look really good....and their colors should stand out in a planted tank.
