shagtime,

The photos still open up small so it's hard to tell for sure what the fish are, but I'm leaning toward Apisto. "steel blue". That's assuming that the fish you got where not a wild caught import (if so see below). If they are from a wild caught shipment larger photos will still be needed for an I.D.


A. "steel blue" is a very attractive hybrid of unknown origin. Many believe it's a product of Asian fish breeders. The fish aren't very demanding in terms of water chemistry but they tend to be fairly aggressive and females are hard to tell apart from the males in addition to a lower number of females present in most imported batches.

I can see the potential A.sp."Rotpunkt" in the "middle" picture, the red/orange hue in the tail, but the other features are way to hard to make out for sure.
