    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
  17. 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.

    Sexing Apisto Borelli Opal

    Among other things A. sp. Steel blue have a vertically extended caudal spot that is separate from the lateral band, these fish don't - they are 100% sure borellii.

    Are both of these fishes D24 ?

    There is variability in all kinds of features, body shape is no exception to this - even more so, if a fish is tank raised.
