A. sp. Ouaou - if you find specimens I would like to have some
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; by the time i know my fish i'm reluctant to say one is more beautiful than the other. I have nij; borelli; and hongsloi and think they are all equally handsome.

True indeed. For me i’d have to say A. baenschi, guttata (wishlist number 1) and atahualpa.

Why those specific species? Looks or something about the behavior or care ?
Hmm… both i think. Not sure how to explain it. My current panduro pair is also fun to watch and again something completely different from the baenschi.
the baenschi was a bit more “cool-calm-and-collected” (scientific term). My panduros are everywhere all the time and breed like rabbits (sadly my husbandry skills don’t follow).
The atahualpa is also very much it’s own.

Hi all,
cheers Darrel
The <"Holotype Papagei"> form? Probably <"the most colourful">.
A pair of A. nijsseni (or <"A. panduro">) in good condition? Must be pretty close.
cheers Darrel
Actually no. The "Pebas" variant as seen in my avatar picture. So sad I lost the fish much too early and couldn't obtain a female before he died. I'm not into colourful per se. Rather some colour sprinkled here and there and more into colour through reflective scales than actual colour. Hence my enthusiasm for Dicrossus.

For those who like blue fish, how about this A. cf. ortegai (Pebas) population that TomC & I collected in a water buffalo pond about a half-hour's walk outside of Pebas?
I'm salivating...
Almost like an african Aulonocara. Just smaller.It is a nice looking fish but can those even be found domestically ?
Yes, but rarely. I had them, though only for a short while. Didn't get the chance to fully colour up to this colours seen above.
