Is that what they were sold as? Are they wild or domestic? Honestly, I'm not sure what they are from these photos.

They were sold as A. cf. eunotus spaltenfleck and they're wild souche(?)
I think it did not and after my research i was thinked at A. cf. eunotus huallaga (View my post in id).

OK, that makes sense. When people mention "A. cf. eunotus" (and nothing else), I usually think they mean the common Orangeschwanz/Orange-tail form. Obviously this isn't Orangeschwanz. It is one of the many forms of the eunotus-complex that have a spot pattern in the male's caudal fin. There are about a half-dozen different forms/populations with this feature. They could be Spaltenfleck, but I don't see the horizontally split caudal spot. They may be too young to see the feature right now. If they were sold as Spaltenfleck/Split-blotch, I doubt that they are wild fish. Commercial exporters don't uses this name, only breeders.

I have this fish for several month now.
They aren't wild but i dont know how the descendants are said to.

I suggest that you ask the person who sold you the fish. Otherwise, better photos of the fish might help.

Sorry for my bad english, i'll try to be more accurate.
I don't know how "individual wild-type strain" is said in english.
In french we say "souche sauvage" for fish naturals forms (f1,f2,f3,etc...).

I hope to be clearer this time.

Best regards

I believe that you mean, that they are F1 offspring from wild parents. If the father of your fish shows a split caudal spot, then they are A. cf. eunotus Spaltenfleck. If the fish were sold to you as "Spaltenfleck", then it is most likely that they are Spaltenfleck - unless they have different features.
