I bought this pair from jo at rare aquatics about a month ago and ive just got my first free swimmer only a small spawn but im chuffed only thing is i think they are Zwilling not the closely related oregon which i bought them as i dont mind either way

I have a huge second spawn from my Apistogramma alacrina (paratype) which im really pleased about as they are as far as i know the only pair in the uk

Also this week another huge spawn from my Apistogramma cacatuoides triple red from gold male which im working with which i pleased about as the last 2 spawns the male has bullied the female from the fry and they vanished in a couple of days this time the female is not letting the male near them keeping him right at the back and she is doing a great job with the fry you can see in the video there are a mixture of colors in the fry

Based on the size and locations of the lateral spot, caudal spot, and cheek patch, it looks like you have A. sp. Oregon.
