    Sexing Apisto Borelli Opal

    Among other things A. sp. Steel blue have a vertically extended caudal spot that is separate from the lateral band, these fish don't - they are 100% sure borellii.

    Are both of these fishes D24 ?

    Are there any special features that distinguish macmasteri from hoignei in males?

    In most cases the only way to safely distinguish hoignei- and macmasteri-subcomplex females is by means of the black markings on throat, chin and chest when they are in spawning/brooding mood. Most hoignei-subcomplex females show black markings on throat and chin whereas most...

    Are there any special features that distinguish macmasteri from hoignei in males?

    Do all species in Apistogramma-iniridae-Group have tail differences between male/female

    I agree with Mike.

    ID Confirmation please!!!

    Without knowing the catch location I can't confirm the ID, but if I had to make a guess, it would be D24 too.
  14. Frank Hättich

    what species ?

    Yes it's mendezi.
  15. Frank Hättich

    What fish is this or what fish is it related to ?

    It's in fact a new species. Mike, Tom and I have already discussed about it last year, but as it seems without adding it to the species list.
