Several years ago Julio Melgar sent me photos of some A. agassizii that he collected in the Rio Putumayo. The fish are the typical form - like the holotype collected on the Manacapuru in Brazil. The specimens included blue-tailed/red dorsal types typically seen from Peru, as well as a specimen with blue body and red dorsal, anal, ventral, & caudal fins.
