Yeah, the larger colorful one is the male. Nice pics mate. Once they get used to the surroundings you'll see some battles. I would have gotten a single male, but you never know with these guys.
Cheers,
Just an update on the Apistos, they seem to have formed pairs in opposite conners of the tank, always see a female and male together. They are a very interesting species which most of the time hide amongst the plants.
When I feed the fish all 4 come out to eat and then retreat back to their sides of the tank, so far all seems good.
No much has happened in the tank other than the addition of Fissidens Fontanus to the Redmoor root, just wanted to try this plant as its very intesting and seems hard to come by, never seen it on sale in any LFS and online I could only find it on ebay from Hong Kong sellers. Idea is to grow this and start distributing it amongst UKAPS members.
Glosso is coming along nicely, with the odd bit coming loose and just replating it. The Helferi seems to be doing good too, haven't noticed any melt.
Hardware wise added a new powehead (Hydor Koralia Nano) just above the CO2 diffusor and now creates a lot of flow to the glosso and all the way around front of the tank.
Thats all for now, will get around to taking some photos maybe next week.
Thanks for looking
