Apistogramma sp. Nana, which form?

[Gertbl]

Hi everybody,

A few weeks ago I bought a couple of Apistogramma sp. Nanay and was curious which form I've got here. The couple is doing well and the female is guarding the eggs she placed in the coconut shelf.

They are swimming in this tank:

Can't help with the Apistos but they are very nice fish and they have a perfect tank!

A. sp. Nanay/Melgar. I really hate the confusion around the Nanay name!

Thanks Mike. I saw that there are three different colour forms of the A. sp. Nanay/Melgar. Which colour form do you think it will be? I thought it would be the A. sp. Nanay/Melgar (laguna de Quistococha).

Unless you actually have proof that the fish were collected in Laguna de Quistococha, then it should only be labeled as A. sp. Nanay/Megar. Laguna de Quistococha is a collecting locality, not a color morph.

Okay thanks then I keep it just to A. sp. Nanay/melgar.
