I usually don't like these discussions but I'll bite for just this once.
Let's get back to the original comment here because I think you guys are completely twisting the conversation.
The original poster asked the difference between the Inka50 and the Inka1... People responded and 1 comment...
I won't argue with anyone, I am simply giving my point of view and expressing my experiences with the species. I've had both the wildcaught and the bred inka color variant and to label the Inka color variant simply as the Baenschi without adding the Inka is misleading. Hence my example of the...
I still need help sexing this specimen. The size is between 2 and 3 cm. and not showing any yellow colors and the male in the same tank is driving her away constantly.
I think we can all agree that this is the Apistogramma Baenschi, but it's the Inka color variation.
Just like the Apistogramma Cacatuoides (Double Red) is still the Cacatuoides, only a different color variation. Same thing applies to the Apistogramma Baenschi (Inka), it's a different color...
This is the A. Allpahuayo. The guys from South America keep labeling them wrong. I had that same issue the first time I ordered the Juruensis from Peru and they send me the Allpahuayo. So that is likely what happened to you as well.
Nonetheless these are beautiful and it's one of those mistakes...
I've had this issue as well, most often in the first week after placing them in the tanks. I've received a small shipment last Friday and had this behavior with some of the Apisto's.
I've seen this happen always after shipping, like Mike said, but acclimation can also be a big contributor to...
You guys didn't look at the photos I posted?
You can clearly see that the Inka has an orange stripe across its tail fin, also, the males are much lighter in color in the body. I can clearly see differences.
There is a big difference between the wildcaught color Baenschi and the Baenschi Inka. They are both Apistogramma Baenschi but different color variations. Just like Cacatuoides (Double Red) and all the other variations.
I will try and make a few photos of the female Baenschi (Inka) and show the...
The photos posted are from the first day so it's hard to see anything because they are still adjusting. I've had males and females before and I don't get my fish from a local shop. With Apisto's its always unclear what you have until they show bright yellow colors. Every species I've had so far...
