Brian Perkins texted me some photos of some Apistos he collected and asked me to please post them here to get some input on what they could possibly be!


Best Regards

I wonder why Brian didn't just email me directly. We have emailed and talked several times in the past. Oh well, based on the first photo, I would say that it is A. sp. Kosho-Kosho/Puerto Maldonado, the same species that he collected with Jeff Cardwell & Vin Kutty a couple of years ago. The other looks like like a species/form from the resticulosa-complex. It's hard to be accurate based on just one photo, but my guess is that it is a very colorful population of A. urteagai.

The second picture looks like fish I got from Brian a year or so ago. They appeared to be as Mike said a colorful urteagai. They spawned for me once but then I moved and lost them.
