    Wild Apisto ID

    Hi guys . . . I hope I didn't post twice here . . . if I did I apologize!!! I just got some fish that are suppose to be wild Apisto viejita. See my photos below. They are maybe 1.25 inches long with the big male being 1.5+ inches long. I know the wild A. viejita is not exactly an everyday...

    Apisto ID . . . Apisto. viejita

    Hi folks . . . I need an ID on these fish. They are wild fish and came in as A. viejita. I know the real wild A. viejita is a bit on the rare-ish so I'd like someone to take a look. They are maybe 1.25 inches and the bigger male being maybe 1.5+ inches Mike Wise . . . are you around...

    Mikrogeophagus ramerizi Dutch

    Folks . . . I agree with Mike Wise except I predate him by probably quite a few years. I will always remember the first of the wild rams I saw in . . . ahhhhh . . . maybe 1966-67 . . . somewhere in those times . . . they were simply gorgeous . . . I always look for wild rams FIRST!!!

    Apisto. erythrura Rio-Mamore

    GREAT explanation, Mike! Ok . . . that settles it . . . but probably from the Rio Guapore not the Rio Mamore!!! Sounds like a deal!!! Thanks again!!! Mike

    What Apisto is this???

    Thanks guys!!! I kinda thought they were A. elizabethae. It's been many many moons since I've handeled them and I remembered a more spade shaped tail. It was a good find and I think I have at least 2-3 females out of the 12-15 pieces I found! Thanks guys!! Mike
