I did run across that thread, sorry to here you lost them. But, It's reassuring to know I'm getting first hand knowledge here, I know I'd be totally lost without you guys and you never know what to believe online. Can't beat advice from someone who had the...
Hi everyone, I'm back. :biggrin:
I stumbled across this profile for Apistogramma sp. "Schwarzbrust", and wanted to know what you all think of it, possible match? Is it even a proper ID there? The main differences I see are dorsal and anal fin shape and the lack of black on the ventral fin...

Well, after reading more these last few days about Regani - Carapintada - Apache - Winkelfleck - Masken/Masked - Eunotus - yada yada yada, I'm pretty sure plant ID is way less hokey. :redface:

What happens if I hypothetically put masken together with regani? Hate, tolerated co-existence, maybe some affectionate intermingling??
This little [girl?] hitchhiked in with a boxlot order, possibly from Peru. Would love to be able to get some same species tankmates, if I could figure the species out. Thanks in advance -J
