Apisto. cruzi ?

[Stuart]

Hi all

I am new to this forum and would like to confirm the ID of 1 of my species.

They came in to NZ via Peru and were sold as A. cruzi, but I have not been able to confirm this.

The fish in question is pictured in my aviator and also displays with out the stripes when fry are present. The over all scale colour is a pinky gold with A washed red in the caudel fin, the red is strongest in the top and bottom third of the fin.

The female also has stripes when not in spawning mode - she looks like many Apisto sp. when with spawn or fry.

Here is a link to my photobucket album with some more pic's ...

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I think, it is A. sp. "Winkelfleck (Angle-Spot)"

I agree with Rolo - A. sp. Winkelfleck/Angle-patch.

Sweet as,

Thanks Mike and Rolo.

That would kind of explain why I was having trouble ID'ing it :biggrin: .
