As some of you might have noticed in the "Apisto news" section at my site, I brought back a few fishes from the Rio Acre, Peru in October 2014. I didn't collect them myself, but bought them from a fisherman who had collected them in the Peruvian part (at least he said so...) of the Rio Acre.
At my site I showed a fish with a greenish tint:
After a few month in captivity, these fishes have changed appearance "a little bit":
The female has fry, and shows no black abdominal stripes:
and the male doesn't know he is a form of A. cacatuoides, so instead of a few red spots in the caudal fin, he's got plenty of red in the posterior part of dorsal fin!
I love surprises like this:
