    WC Apistogramma sp. "Puerto Morona"

    And in the Species-List on Tom's site it is listed as A. sp. "Puerto Morona", so that this is of course the preferred name ;-)

    WC Apistogramma sp. "Puerto Morona"

    A. sp. "Morona" is an eunotus-subcomplex species. The name of your fish is A. sp. "Alto Morona". Sometimes details matter ;-)

    If the dorsal, anal and ventral fins don't become more pointed/extended it's a female.

    As for the species: it's A. macmasteri.

    If the tetras would constantly try to come close to the fry I suppose it would be stressful for her.

    ID help

    I always kept some Otocinclus and small numbers of small tetras in my tanks and never had any problems. However, if the female gets stressed, remove them.

    Two females (shape of fins, body color, black chest blotch) of A. macmasteri (shape of caudal spot, red markings on the head).

    Apisto piaroa?

    Despite the relatively large black area on the caudal peduncle of your wild male (which could point towards A. cf. piaroa from the Rio Negro), I think your fish are in fact A. piaroa.

    Ok, these haven't been in the videos linked above. It's obviously a cacatuoides-group species.

    Is this Apistogramma Macmasteri?

    I have no idea why some macmasteri are sold with the addition "Ashaninka" (which according to Google are an indigenous people living in the rainforests of Peru and in the state of Acre in Brazil, i.e. nowhere near the area in Colombia where A. macmasteri are found) but since your "viejita" are...

    Yes. For Apistos inert, fine, rounded, non-dyed sand is recommended. If you find a darker colored one that meets these criteria, go for it.

    Thanks! So the A. sp. Alto Morona are a nijsseni-group species.

    I don't find any pictures/video of A. sp. Alto Morona on your facebook site. Can you share a link please?

    ID help

    A. sp. Steel-blue and A. (cf.) taeniata are ruled out because they show a pronounced pattern of vertical bars in the caudal fin. So your fish are either A. sp. Wangenflecken or one of the A. (cf.) resticulosa forms. Because of the lack of any pattern in the caudal, the very short lateral band...

    What Apistogramma is this?

    It's A. cf. sp. D24 from the Río Manacacias.

    Id?

    That's why I didn't wrote "since they came with C. habrosus...".
  17. Frank Hättich

    Id?

    If they were collected in the same area as C. habrosus , they are most likely macmasteri-group species.

    Wild Apitogramma collected in Peru species identification

    It's for sure an eunotus-subcomplex species. Unfortunately the new photos are quite blurry, but my guess would be either A. cinilabra or the (for me) indistinguishable A. sp. Roter or A. cf. eunotus (Orangeschwanz).
  19. Frank Hättich

    ID help

    It's either a resticulosa-complex species, e.g. A. sp. Wangenflecken, or A. sp. Steel-blue. In the latter species males develop a pronounced caudal pattern consisting of vertical stripes. So watch out for this feature.

    Apistogramma Eunotus?

    It's one of the many A. cf. eunotus forms.
