Apistogramma hongsloi

This fish likes to chase the other one around, once he gets close he turns around and shakes his body at it.

Then it’s likely female that’s classic breeding behavior

Alright... A female, or a stressed out male because the other male is trying to mate with it?

It does look like a female do you have any caves for them then you’ll also see female behavior of guarding the cave etc

Ya I have a couple of PVC pipes under some lava rocks she likes to hang around. The other side of the tank I have a cave system made out of large lava rock and drift wood.

So far she doesn't seem too interested in the make.

I was working with several pairs F1 or F2 hongsloi a while back only had one spawn in a span of several months and unfortunately lost the pairs over time likely due to old age and to much nitrates over a period of years. Discus was easier for me lol, at least the brood stock that I was working with. Thats the most important factor is healthy stock

The lfs got some of these in this week. I'm thinking about grabbing a couple for either my 75g or my dsm tank. I've never owned apistos, but they sure catch my eye! From what I've been reading they are plant friendly also.
