can anyone tell me anything about Apisto. Pebas "Dolly"? Amazon tropical fish has some on their stock list I was considering trying.

I seen some pictures of Toms "Morado" and was wondering if these were anything remotely close? I realize they probably dont have the poping colors etc. but I like the "pebas" in general. Cant find anything on them anywhere..

Earlier the name “Dolly” was mostly used for A 88: A. sp.”Pebas” (“Noronha”) and A 87: A. sp. “Pebas”, but as Jose says, now all the known colorforms of A.sp. “Pebas” occasionally are imported and sold as A. sp. “Pebas” (“Dolly”) or just A. sp. “Dolly”.

Usually the A 89: A. sp. “Pebas” (“Morado”) is called A. sp. “Morado” or A.sp. “Purple” by the exporters (“Morado” is the Spanish word for “Purple”).
I see that Amazon tropical fish also has Apisto. Sp. "Purple" F0 on their list, so if you want the “Morado”-form, this is the one that most likely is the A. sp. "Pebas" (“Morado”).

Amazon tropical fish has some fish on their list that are only presented with a commercial name.
If you are not familiar with how the Peruvian exporters label their fish:

Apisto. Diamante "Strawberry" F0 = A. eremnopyge (A 218)
Apisto. Sp. "Apache" = A. sp. "Masken" ( A 52)
Apisto. Juruensis = A. sp. “Black-chin” (A 198 / A 199)

Good luck!
