Apistogramma Sp. “Orange” (Unidentified)

[Will]

All,

Today I picked up a pair of apistogramma sold as apistogramma sp. “orange”. No to be confused with A. Cacatoidies “Orange Flash” line, they are a currently unidentified species. While the store owner could be wrong, I trust him and know he’s reliable. However I would like to see if anyone else has kept them and what their experience with them has been like. I will upload pictures soon to help confirm what they are and sex them. Thanks.

Compare your fish to photos of A. atahualpa. That's probably what they are.

Interesting, do you believe that I have male and female? Or two males?

From what I can see they look like a pair to me.

This was also my first thought. I do think you have a pair as well.

Will, did you pick these up at the GCCA swap?

I picked mine up at the GCCA swap last week.

More than likely the same vendor if he did get them there. And, definitely A. Atahualpa.

Vendor didn’t know anything about them. He only gave a vague description of color.
Slap an sp on it to boost the price is my thoughts
