Mattlikesfish36 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Got my surface skimmer tuned up which makes for some nice reflections. Here’s my favorite fish since starting the hobby 4ish years ago. Still no name for him yet… I’ve been referring to him as “big sexy” but I should probably come up with something better haha 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadStang Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I LOVE the female Apistogramma's personalities!!! They are small and plain-looking, but they are super, super, super cool!!! Definitely my 100% favorite fish...the male is cool, too, but the female is the bee's knees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often overlooked but they have so much personality and it is fun to watch the colors change toward yellow when she’s ready to lay eggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
