Picked me up a young pair of Apistogramma cacatuoides tonight!
Didn't reeeeallly mean to do it - I meant to wait on getting dwarf cichlids till after I'd changed over the gravel & redecorated the tank. But my nitrates are finally down, and I was at my local, picking up crickets for my gecko... the fish were there, so I looked at them...and somehow the Apistos got into my purse.
The lady is a dream... inquisitive, fast like a dart, swimming about with the corys, and colouring up nicely as I type.
He.... um, he is very like a bulldog. He is squatting on his pectorals, all mouth, from a crevasse in a piece of wood. He tried to chase the corys out from behind the chunk that's been functioning as a cory cave, but there are too many of them for him. (For now.)
Their colours are shifting and fading and remerging as they peck about the plants and gravel. Eeeee!
I really, really like teeny cichlids.
