Brazil Import

These guys came in mixed with pertensis/cf. pertensis and mendezi. The larger male is a little short of 2" and the smaller male is about 1 3/4"









Any ID help in narrowing the fish down would be helpful. I still struggle with trying to separate the fish in the agassizii complex!

The strength and continuousness (is that a word?) of the lateral band, the strong red margin on the dorsal even in a young male, and the lace-like pattern in the upper caudal all suggest A. gephyra to me. Companion species seem right, too.

Thanks Mike!

Looks like Gephys to me, too.
See: http://www.aquarium.ch/forum/showthread.php?t=39087&page=2 - you have to scroll down about half way on the page (the one under the A. hongsloi), and there is a photo of an almost identical fish to yours, which is most likely gephyra.
