Hi Mike,
For me, they still look like the same fish as this one:
And this form is confirmed as A. viejita (I), aka "Rotsaum"-Apistogramma, even by you.
So, I can't see obvious differences. In my eyes, the Panta Rhei fishes seems to be just older males of the same form.

Rolo
Hi,
Why shouldn't A. viejita develop tips?
Usually A. macmasteri has a round caudal, too but meanwhile we know it better.
...but the dark red seam in the dorsal fin makes me guess, that this fish IS the colour form I (= Rotsaum) of A. viejita.

Rolo
Hi Mike,
This statement is based on the assumption, that A. playayacu is identical with A. sp. "Caqueta", as Römer states in the description of A. playayacu. But I doubt, that this assumption is correct. How can you be so sure about that?
Johannes fish (and I have the same) are likely the...
Hi Mike,
ah, okay, I understand.
I have the "Bolivia Gold" since a few weeks, but they are also too small, to say anything about the female cauldal shape. I'm even not sure, that I have females, anyway.
But according to the locality, I would say, the "Bolivia Gold" are A. luelingi.
From the...
Great news, Mike!
Why A. cf. luelingi?
What are the differences to the fishes, Glaser sold as A. sp. "Bolivia Gold" (http://www.aquarium-glaser.de/en/archiv.php?news_id=596), which are A. luelingi in my opinion.
best regards,

Hi,
In my opinion, they are more likely A . sp Papagei than A. sp. Pebas.
...anyway, a good offer, if they are labeled as A. borellii ;-)

Hi,
Not the best picture to identify, but y guess would be A. sp. Schwarzkinn, not A. norberti. The caudal spot seems to be separated from the lateral band.

Rolo
That's a great idea! ;-)
....but I have an even better one.
Why don't you spend your next holidays in the beautiful north of germany? I still have these fishes.

Hi,
it's not the best photo to ID the fish, but as I wrote there, I think it's A. cacatuoides or a close related (maybe new) species, but for sure not A. barlowi.

Hi,
Well, I have been there together with Lutz and some others.
(In the next issue of the Aquarium International magazine will be another article about Apistos from French Guyana) ;-)
It is correct, what Lutz wrote. French Guyana ist french territory, therefore it belongs to the European...
Hi,
these fishes are available here in germany, too.
I talked to Uwe Roemer about these fishes (he gave them the name "A. sp. Batan") why he thinks, that they are a different species. They obviously do look like A. huascar. He told me, that these fishes are from the Rio Javari at the border...
Hi,
short version... ;-)
It is a list from the brazilian environtmental agency IBAMA, which contains all species of fishes, which can be exported legally.
In the past, this list have been ignored more or less and any fish has been exported, in case of doubt under a wrong name (which has been...
Hi,
I have an "older" draft-version of the new positive list, but there are only 5 Apistogramma species on it :-(
But I just asked Henrique for the actual list, if I get response, I'll let you know.
regards,
Rolo
