A. Lineata?

[PissBabyTheFourth]

Hey guys, aquaticclarity recently got some apistogramma lineata and i was wondering if you guys believe that it really is lineata. I had sent a picture to someone and they said it doesn’t like it but that it’s definitely part of the iniridae complex ‍

I’ll get my popcorn out for this one… I think it looks like uaupesi

 

[PissBabyTheFourth]

What about blutkehl?

 

[Frank Hättich]

It's obviously one of the uaupesi-like species, but from this picture it's impossible to tell for sure if it's lineata. I need to see a photo of a fully colored up male with spread caudal fin. Do you know the catch location?

 

[PissBabyTheFourth]

Unfortunately i don’t know the catch location, sorry.

 

[Ben Rhau]

I would trust Jeff’s ID, and I’m sure he knows the catch location.

Cheers

Just for historical record this is the fish i had acquired that @Frank Hättich had later identified as a. blutkehl and mine also came from Jeff in Jan 2024. I'm pretty sure they were from the same batch - he still has some of the cockatoo (which are actually pretty nice fishes even if they are a bit rough on dithers).
