All right, another Apisto. to try and I.D.! I got these fish as juveniles about 8 months ago through a BAP spawn and I'm finally moving them to a breeding tank. The pictures where taken while the fish where in a specimen cup. I'll get some better images when they settle into their new home.

I should add that I got the fish under the name A. taeniata. I'm leaning toward A. cf. taeniata or A. sp. "Wangenflecken" based on the amount of color/patterning in the caudal.

They aren't the best photos for identification, Jeff, but I tend to agree with you. It looks like one of the deeper-bodied forms of A. taeniata, prossibly A5.

hey have settled in and even spawned about 10 days or so ago. I was able to take a few shots of a male sitting still at night...dark room, flashlight in one hand, camera in the other. And who says fish are addicting! :rolleyes:
