Hey Everyone,
First time posting here, I kept apistos several years ago but had to get out of the hobby due to a huge move.
I recently decided to setup a tank again and found this gem at a local pet store. Of course the employee had no idea what it was and there was no labeled (was actually sold to me as a red headed kribensis).
I am thinking it's a young male Macmasteri/Viejita but I am not an expert, can someone help me ID him/her?
