Outstanding fish.

Do sp Blutkehl has a described name yet?

They are ok; the original ones had no colour and it was only the off spring that developed colour in the face with some red other orange and a few blues. I have one male that develop blue in the dorsal fin also they are extremely peaceful making a colony viable.

To believe that these are A. sp. Blutkehl I need to see a picture in which they show the typical abdominal bars (similar to those of A. iniridae).

I believe those are the f1 i provided which you have previously identified as A. sp Blutkehl when they were sold as Lineata and i posted pictures.

This was the original picture I had provided.

I have to say it takes the fry for this species forever to grow - more than 9 months to get close to identifying sexual dimorphism and longer to full maturity. When i compare this to a sp ipiranga frys which are growing at close to 3x the rate.

Hello @Frank Hättich and @anewbie, I upload many photos of the female and the male where you can see that it has slight abdominal bars that validate it. The truth is that it is the first time I have this species. I have no idea why those marks on the body are not so marked, but I leave the photos so you can see them.

These are the f1 i sent you correct? If so then they must be the same species of the parents Mine rarely show the lower marks and most of the time they are not seen.

Yes, they are.
