apistogramma uaupesie?

[jp_verkade]

Hello,

because this is mine first post on this forum I will shortly introduce myself.

My name is Jean Paul Verkade and I live in the Netherlands. I am keeping and breeding (hobby) dwarf cichlids for about 15 years now, including pelvicachromis taeniatus, pelvicachromis subocellatus, nanochromis transvestitus, apistogramma cacatuoides, apistogramma steindachneri and papliochromis altispinoza.

I have been reading posts on this forum for quite some time now. Only this time, I would like you to help me in the identification of an apistogramma species. Personally, i guess it's apistogramma uaupesi.

The only information I have available is that they are caught together with crenicara filamentosa, probably rio negro?

Below are two pictures. I hope you can help me. If required I could post more pictures.

Thanks in advance, Jean Paul

Blueblue, thanks for your confirmation.

I am very pleased with them. This species is pretty difficult to obtain in the Netherlands. It was in the same tank as crenicara filamentosa at the LFS and they probably didn't noticed the difference at first, which is not extremely odd because I believe they are as slender and elegant as the filamentosa.

An advantage of this is that they were sold to me at the same price ($6 each)

Unfortunately, due to moving homes, I am not able to provide them with a breeding tank, but I will provide them with one in the near future. They are eating and growing out well, so maybe I am lucky..
