Apistogramma sp. Rotkeil

 

[Rolo]

Hi,

They are A. uaupesi.

sp. "Rotkeil" is just a synonyme for this species, because of polychomatism.
But the colormorph on your pictures is not "Rotkeil".

Look at the tail colouration of "Rotkeil" (="red wedge"?):

Your fish is the "Blutkehl" (blood throat) colormorph of A. uaupesi.
But there is a similar, but different species from Orinoco/Atabapo, called A. sp. Blutkehl". Don't confuse that.
A. sp. "Blutkehl" ist closer related to A. iniridae, because of the dark lateral markings like A. iniridae, but has a caudal fin with filaments like A. uaupesi.

regards,
Rolo
