A. juruensis?

[Greg PL]

Hi there,

Could you pls take a look at the following link and comment?
To me they look like members of regani group, wouldn't dare to guess further on. they are said to be Czech A. juruensis. someone suggested they could be A. steindachneri.

They don't look like either species to me. I don't know what they are though.

one of our Polish forum members bought them. the head shape of steel blue is somewhat different AFAIR. and they do not show this steel blue colouration (assuming the photo is good enough).

Hard to say. They definitely are not A. juruensis. I agree with you. They are a regani-group species, possibly A. sp. Wangenflecken/Cheek-spots (base on arched vertical bars).

I have no idea yet, what this is, but they are no "Wangenfleck".
I've never seen Wangenflecks with such a wide lateral band. The lateral band of them is extremly thin.

there are some more photos in the linked thread now. perhaps they will help in identification?
Rolo, I think you're in touch with the lady who has them?

Are there any pictures of males? Those new pictures look like females to me.

I still cannot be positive, but the fish appear to be members of the resticulosa -complex. The new photos show the narrow zigzag lateral band typical of the complex. My guess still is the same - Wangenflecken/Cheek-spots.
