This apisto has had me guessing its id for months
now. This is a pic. when I first rescued it on 14/9/01. It lived for over a year
at the local lfs in which time it was kept with Malawi cichlids (various zebs).
At this stage I was told it was probably a female
borelii. I thought that's fine because male borelli were responably easy to
find.
BUT
I noticed today that this apisto has developed a
red patch on the caudal peduncle and a blue sheen in its dorsal, it has lost
some of the yellow in its pelvic fins and developed a pointy anal fins. It
reminds me of a hongsloi.
Here is a pic of it today. It's not great but shows
the red patch and the blue sheen in the dorsal.
What do people think of this? How long does the red
take to appear on male hongsloi?
regards
Simon
