Hey guys

I picked up 6 fish labeled "apistogramma sp." from the LFS. They are slender (some of them, the ones I think are males) , high dorsal fin ( on the males, again ), and about <2 inches long.

I'm not very good at ID-ing what species they are, could be iniridae, some pertensis complex fish or gibbiceps.

Here are the pics, any help is much much much appreciated! :biggrin:

Male?

I agree. The first looks like it might be a female iniridae-group species, but I can't be sure. The photo (even on flickr) is too small. The other species is too out of focus to say what it is.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
