Apisto. baenschi

[KittyKat]

I have recently been asked to find a breeder on A. baenschi "Inka 50".. but I have been having problems finding out how the "Inka 50" are different from "Inka", are different from just A. baenschi. Is all this just one species? So far, I have come across mention that "Inka" was the pre-classification name for the species and the "50" was derived from the original pricing of these fish in Japan (Â¥50,000). So, what is it?!? (Photographic examples appreciated if I am not correct )

You´re right.

Now, the name is Apistogramma baenschi

I have seen a couple of different names. A. sp. 'Inka', A. sp. 'Inka 50', A. sp. 'Inka 500', A. sp. 'Inka Gold' are just a couple I am sure there are more. Retailers like to change names sometimes to make it sound like it is a new fish to increase sales. The identified species name is Apistogramma baenschi, the rest are just synonyms.

The identified species name is Apistogramma baenschi, the rest are just synonyms.

Technically, the other names are just commercial names, not synonyms in the taxonomic sense.
