A.nijsseni or A.panduro

[Ryan B]

I need some help in understanding the differences between A.nijsseni and A.panduro. I recently purchased a young wild caught pair of A.panduro from a reputable source, but have suspicions that they are not. The female coluration to me seems to be more along the lines of the nijsseni.

Thanks, I see the difference now. I'll check when I get home.

 

[P.W.]

Here´s another excellent description how to determine the two species.
