    Macmasteri ID

    The book of Staeck & Linke "Amerikanische Cichliden I. Kleine Buntbarsche" show (true) A. viejita under the name "A. viejita type 1". The book by Koslowski "Die Buntbarsche Amerikas Band 2: Zwergcichliden – Apistogramma & Co" and the DATZ book "Sonderheft 2005 – Südamerikanische Zwergcichliden"...

    Macmasteri ID

    First of all, all the pictures of A. viejita in Römer's CA1 actually show A. macmasteri. Distinguishing females of both species can be very difficult if not impossible. So better focus on males. Your male shows a narrow oval caudal spot, lacks a red seam at the upper edge of the dorsal fin, has...

    help with reproduction

    As for the species, this looks like a male A. hongsloi: and this is a pair of A. panduro: Your other male (post #9) is A. agassizii "Blue flame (aka Alamare Red tail)" and the female from post #5 can be some kind of agassizii female.

    ID for a friend

    Yes A. baenschi female, though the red tips of the ventral fins is something I have so far only seen in males.

    Are any of these female elizabeth ?

    I'm not particularly good in sexing. But if fish 2 is in fact 4-4.5cm it's most likely a female. About the sex of fish 1 I can't say anything. I'm not completely sure what you mean, but depending on mood a narrow pale stripe that separates the lateral band from the caudal spot can occur in A...

    Apistogramma sp. Blutkehl

    Yes, thanks!

    Are any of these female elizabeth ?

    The strongly serrated dorsal fin of the largest fish, the caudal pattern and the orange/yellow color at the lower edge of the caudal fin. Moreover, the inverted coloration (bright lateral band and dark markings above and below shown by the specimen in pictures 3 & 4) I haven't seen in any A...

    Apistogramma sp. Blutkehl

    To believe that these are A. sp. Blutkehl I need to see a picture in which they show the typical abdominal bars (similar to those of A. iniridae).

    Are any of these female elizabeth ?

    To me they look like elizabethae - they are for sure not uaupesi.

    Apisto ID and sexing help

    It's a male of one of the many A. (cf.) bitaeniata forms.

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    It's actually pictures of D51. Tom also has some pictures on his site: https://www.tomc.no/fish.aspx?fishIndexID=2608&gruppeID=1

    my a. elizabeth

    I don't know buit my guess is that males may reach 7cm. Can very well be the case, especially for A. uaupesi and A. elizabethae: their type-localities are in the very same river merely a few hundred meters apart from each other. The type-locality of A. brevis is in a different river, but merely...

    my a. elizabeth

    I'm not able to sex them at this size.

    my a. elizabeth

    Depending on mood, males and females can show a continous lateral band or two lateral spots at the positions of vertical bars 2 and 3.
  17. Frank Hättich

    my a. elizabeth

    I think the first link is a male, second a female and third male & female.

    my a. elizabeth

    Here are some pictures: https://www.aqualog.de/en/lexikon/apistogramma-brevis-4/ https://www.aquaportail.com/especies/ficha/pez/3482/apistogramma-brevis https://fishbase.mnhn.fr/photos/ThumbnailsSummary.php?ID=46595

    my a. elizabeth

    Your male is elizabethae. My guess is A. brevis.
  20. Frank Hättich

    my a. elizabeth

    The two supposed fenales show a distinct gap between lateral band and caudal spot. I haven't seen this in any elizabethae so far. Imo they are likely a different species.
