    ID help - Panduro male?

    It's A. nijsseni. The males are the more coloful ones without large black blotches on the side of the body and with smaller caudal spots. A male can be seen in the first four pictures.

    Wild Peru Apistogramma ID's

    The first one is a cacatuoides-group species, it can be A. (cf.) cacatuoides, A. sp. Rocafuerte or A. (cf.) luelingi. Please post some photos on which one can clearly see lateral band, caudal spot and abdominal markings. About the second fish I can't say much other than that it's likely a...

    Gifted fish identification please.

    Difficult to tell without any black markings or at least some color. However, based on body shape and finnage my guess would be A. macmasteri "Gold".

    Help With identification of Orinoco Apisto

    First and second picture are male A. sp. Kiemenfleck/Gill-spot (D37). The female in the third picture is a different species, imo A. sp. Alto Vaupes II (D50).

    May I ask the great gods to help me see what variety this is？

    Females are difficult to ID especially from just a single photo and without any other information! However, in case she is from Peru, my guess would be A. huascar or something closely related. But please show some more photos of her, preferably in different moods, and share any information you...

    ID help

    Impossible to tell without information on the catch location (if it is wild).

    Can anyone help id this apisto? It came in with a wild batch of inka. There is a male and female in there. I just can't figure out what it is.

    Imo the new photos too fit to A. cf. eunotus (Rio Huallaga).

    Can anyone help id this apisto? It came in with a wild batch of inka. There is a male and female in there. I just can't figure out what it is.

    It looks like one of the many forms of A. cf. eunotus. Since it came with baenschi, it is likely the one from Rio Huallaga.

    A. megaptera or A. piaroa?

    Only the first photo is helpful and it strongly points towards megaptera.

    ID of Apistogramma sold as Viejita

    Since he is just introduced into your tank, colors will likely enhance a bit given that you provide the right conditions (e.g. water parameters, ligthing, food).

    ID of Apistogramma sold as Viejita

    It's A. macmasteri and seems to be adult, so color doesn't necessarily enhance further.

    Apisto ID and sexing

    They are a pair of A. macmasteri.
  16. Frank Hättich

    ID confirmation please

    Yes it might also be an exceptionally colorful specimen of D33 but the latters catch location is not inside Arauca and more than100km away from Tame and the Rio Tame with at least two other rivers in between.
  17. Frank Hättich

    ID confirmation please

    I have seen similar A. cf. macmasteri with the location label "Arauca". Arauca is a department of Colombia containig the Rio Tame. On the other hand, from Puerto Carreno I only know one macmasteri-subcomplex species, A. sp. D21. And I have never seen any sepcimens of these with such intense red...

    A. cf. hoignei

    So they came in a "Colombia mix" ;-) The problem is that just by their looks alone many hoignei-subcomplex species can't be savely distinguished from one another (at least I'm not able to do so). But since you didn't even ordered them, they will probably not been very expensive and thus not much...

    A. cf. hoignei

    Your fish are cetrainly some form of A. cf. hoignei. Whether they are D47 depends on their catch location in fact being somewhere in the Coconuevo-area. Did they come with other fish from the lower Rio Inirida?

    Apistogramma & Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi in 75G Together

    I don't know what I might have said back then, but this fish looks like A. ortegai (without "cf.") to me.
