Can anyone help id this apisto? It came in with a wild batch of inka. There is a male and female in there. I just can't figure out what it is.

Could someone help me id this apisto? I have a pair that came in with a batch of inka. They are wild caught and very shy.

It looks like one of the many forms of A. cf. eunotus. Since it came with baenschi, it is likely the one from Rio Huallaga.

Personally, the photos are too out-of-focus to see much but Frank's guess is as good as any.

I will try to get some better pictures today. I'm not sure why they are blurry on here. The pictures I took aren't blurry at all on my phone. It does look kinda like my other eunotus red tail. Thanks

Here is some more pictures.

If you click on the pictures they are clear and you can see them better

Imo the new photos too fit to A. cf. eunotus (Rio Huallaga).

It's not you that is the problem, it's your phone's camera. Cell 'phones' now are a "Jack of all trades, but a master of none". On a small screen they may look sharp, but on a larger computer screen they are not clear enough to see features that I need to identify an apisto.

So is there multiple types of eunotus?

And: Your substrate is far from good for Apistogramma. I have written about this here.

Thank you. They are just in a holding tank for another week or so. I have a rack of 10 gallons that I just added to my fish room. They are just cycling right now. I use sand in all my apistogramma and pelvicachromis tanks.
