Apisto ID please

[Drew Mills]

Can I please get identified, the three apistogrammas in this photo?

Looks to me as an apistogramma inca maybe

Yes, Apistogramma baenschi (male in the middle and a female on either side). A. baenschi came into the hobby as A. sp. Inca/Inca 500 about 10 years ago.

Thanks for the help.

I have seen the names: Inca, Inca I, Inca 50 and now Inca 500. Is this the same fish with different variations on the name or are there slight differences in appearance?

Sorry, that should have read inca 50 not 500. Phone typo.

Yes, all the same fish. The different names do not represent different populations of the same species, just different trade names used before (and in some cases still) the fish was officially described and given a scientific name.
