During our trip to Peru in October Tom and I decided to travel on an 11 day/1136km expedition along the Rio Ucayali and Rio Tapiche in search of a fish that had been collected by Peruvian fishermen and introduced into the hobby by Minoru Matsuzuka(Japan) in 2008.
Fortunately we were able to find many male/female specimens and study the habitats during the expedition but unfortunately only 1 single male fish managed to survive the gruelling trip back to our fish houses in the UK and Norway. Needless to say we were bitterly dissappointed....
The surviving young male is now starting to colour up rather nicely and is showing quite an unusual orange marking on anal fin. Despite it being a eunotus complex species it is developing red horizontal markings rather remeniscent of A rubrolineata.
Its developing into a very nice fish...
