Species Profile: Apistogramma barlowi
Description
A mouthbrooding species of Apistogramma where the male (usually) incubates the eggs in his mouth. Behaves like most Apistos in that it dwells near the substrate and favors blackwater or partially tannic waters without strong current. Very distinct head and mouth shape. Small to medium sized as far as Apistos go with males reaching a body length of about 3 inches (excluding finnage). A very fun fish with a personality as big as its mouth!
