My favorite fish since starting the hobby


Recommended Posts

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

Beautiful fish! I’m not great at identifying every common species yet - what is he?

@ccc24thanks! It’s a cockatoo apistogramma. Definitely recommend them for their hardiness and their interactiveness.

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.

Are they aggressive?

@CT_not at all. They don’t even look at the tiny amano shrimp in my aquarium

@DeadStangso true! 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
