Hi there,

Wouldn't say norberti, more Apisto nijsenni.

The female does not have the extended lateral spot I associate with A. nijsseni. These fish are wild caught and came in as A. norberti.

Is A. zwilling/twin a possibility?

I think that is A. sp "Zwilling" :wink: .

It isn't A. nijsseni because the caudal spot is too large.I doubt that it is A. sp. Oregon becuse the its lateral spot sits higher on the flanks & females have an expanded black patch that can cover the lower part of gill cover and breast area. It probably is A. sp. Zwilling/Twin, but the cheek stripe seems too narrow in these photos. The lips, however, are massive like on Zwilling.
