Apistogramma id

[mathew]

So I ran into another apistogramma I'm trying to identify. The store said they were orange flash and wild but obviously that is not true since there isn't orange flash apistogramma in the wild. I am having a hard time figuring this one out. Any one know what it could be.

It's a brevis-group species, probably one of the piaroa-like ones. A picture of a male with a fully spread dorsal fin might be helpful together with information about the size of the specimen.

Thanks, I will keep trying to get a better photo. He is only about an inch right now.

He is only about an inch right now.

Then he's still too small.
