Apistogramma Emnopyge

[Andrew Powell]

Good morning all,

I am new to this forum and whilst researching Apistogramma Ermnopyge I came across some fantastic images on this thread. We have two male Eremnopyge (they were sold as a pair when they were small) and they are coloured up beautifully.
I was wondering if our cf is Rio Tigre or some other cf?

One minute the males are a 'bland' colour and the next the are a very dark (kind of blackish colour) with alot of blue.

I have attached a couple of images of our 'bigger' male Eremnopyge to help (The second features our lovely male Agassizii 'double red')

Hope someone can clarify for me

Thankyou all in advance

Here's another image of our 'big' Apistogramma Eremnopyge male with fins up!

I doubt that anyone can tell you where they were collected. Although the A. eremnopyge collected by TomC in the Río Tigre tend to show less red on the face, it is variable species/population-wise. My guess is that it isn't the Tigre population because the Tigre population isn't as easily accessible as populations from the Itaya and Nanay. Without knowing exactly which river from which they were collected, they are simply A. eremnopyge.

Ours is certainly the bottom images type. Love the top one!
