The fish in this picture shows the beautiful A. agassizii colour morph from the Rio Abacaxis, which lies in the middle part of the Amazon River in Brasil. Recently a number of new varieties are introduced to the hobby, originating from breeding as well as import of local colour morphs. We can only hope that these beautiful varieties will obtain a permanent place in our fascinating hobby. The breeding of A. agassizi in not very complicated if you are aware of the typical conditions of keeping Apistogramma. Soft and clean water with low pH, enough hiding places with caves having small openings for the females to be used as breeding places, are the basal conditions for successful breeding. With this know-how plus a small amount of aquaristical intuition nothing will be in the way for many hours of fascinating observation in front of the fish tank.
