Apisto ID Blutkehl?Rotkeil?Segelflossen?

[williamlin]

Hi,
Can someone help me to identify these two apisto.
Because Blutkehl,Rotkeil and Segelflossen I can't not identify, and these two apisto are bought from different people.
So I'm not sure they are the same species.
Thanks.

Based on the photos, my guess is that they are A. uaupesi (Rotkeil is a color morph of this species). It isn't easy to tell the difference. Note that color (other than the black markings) is not important:

A. uaupesi - slender, fusiform body; high dorsal fin; flank scales often show dark borders; sometimes shows 3+ rows of small abdominal spots.

A. sp. Blutkehl - body and fins like A. uaupesi; often shows abdominal bars below the lateral band, similar (but less prominent) to those seen on A. iniridae.

A. sp. Segelflossen - body more slender and dorsal fin higher than on above species; often shows 2 rows of abdominal spots 2X larger than those seen on A. uaupesi.

Hope this helps.
