I think it's a borelli but not sure. There's a lot more colour in the fins than in many offered for sale round here.

Not A. borellii, the tail pattern eliminates that. But it does greatly resemble A. borellii! My guess, and it's only a long shot guess, is A. geisleri.

Neither this fish or the one in the Two Fish Guys pic are A cruzi....
Hard to call without seeing black markings/caudal etc but my guess is eunotus complex and either A cf eunotus "Schwanzstreifen/Tailstripes" or A sp "Schwarzbrust".

Out of interest are these fish Czech bred as i have seen very similar fish brought into the UK from Czech Rep named A Cruzi....

Before we see photos showing the black markings, I would say it reminds me of A. cf. caetei (Most likely the "Rotwangen/Red-cheeks" form.)

Hey Kevin,
I should have thought of A piauiensis as i have them in my aquaria also. A really stunning and colourful species...
Pics of my pair...

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
