A.pertensis ?

[Gamelle]

Hello,

I've got some apistos labelled as "A. pertensis", can you confirm the ID please ?

They came from Barcelos.

Thanks in advance

Gamelle,

How large are your fish? I am not certain whether you have the true A. pertensis or A. cf. pertensis. A. cf. pertensis has a more compressed body than does A. pertensis. I just can't tell from the one photo.

Curtis,

Your fish with the caudal spot are A. pertensis, but the ones in which the lateral band run into the tail fin are a different species, in the agassizii-group.

Thanks for your answers

Mike, you can find just below more pictures, they are about 4/4,5 cm TL.

You can find all the pictures in a higher resolution here : http://gamelle31.free.fr/thumbnails.php?album=21

Gamelle,

Your fish are probably A. cf. pertensis. They have a more laterally compressed body than A. pertensis, which is more cylindrical.
