As followers of the forum will be awareTom C and Mark visited Peru last month and Mark was very fortunate to bring some Apisto's back with him (and of course Tom took some home to Norway as well!).
I popped over through the week to get some photographs as there a couple of species Mark has brought back that I would consider new to the UK hobby along with some other very attractive Apisto's that we do see every know and again. I'll need to go back to photograph some more of the species as not all of the were playing 'ball' for the camera!!
First up, Apistogramma cf. luelingi from Puerto Maldonado. I think this falls into the bracket of a 'first time in the UK'.
For those of you with the Datz Sonderhoft Apistogramma book, it's under A196. A very attractive fish (part of the Apistogramma cacatuoides group) with the male showing lots of yellow over the head area. Interesting to note the female has almost 2 lateral spots on one side and what has to be one of the smallest lateral spots I have seen an Apisto on the other side. Enjoy...
The pair:
The male:
The female:
I've photographs from another couple of species that I neeed to process then you will find them posted here.
