Apistogramma elizabethae

[apistodave]

Elizabethae is a very distinctive fish with a very elongate body, here are three of my males



The males are born with a rounded caudal, at about 1 inch it develops a split at the apex and becomes a lyretil, thing is--the only time they spread it is when engaged in a shoving contest--the rest of the time they hold it in a scissor configuration.

[Melanochromis]

it looks like A. sp. "Breitbinden to me.

That what I thought seeing pictures in post#9.
I see them all the time because one shop owner I know breeds Breitbinden and he likes to put juveniles in random tanks in his shop.
