Colorful Species/Subspecies

[Levin Tilghman]

Which species and subspecies are the most colorful? I'm referring to natural occuring rather than color mutations.

Almost all the wild agassizi color 'types' I have gotten have had a lot of nice color, especially in good light.
Panduros are nice too IMO.
*EDIT*
How could I forget the A. bitaeniata 'rio tigre' ?!

My favorites for coloring and just spectacular colors in general are agassizi

I really like the population in my avitar - A. bitaeniata Río Tigre.

for me my wild Bitaeniata shishita is very nicest compare to my other apistogramma.

I still can't believe how back in 1968/1969 that I paid no more than $0.25 each for A. bitaeniata in 25 lots wholesale.
Things have sure changed. I had difficulty selling them at $0.79 each retail back then.

A. agassizi are probably my favorite species. Especially the blue varieties.
The wild fish, that is.
A. cf agassizi Tefe' is perhaps my true favorite but they are harder to find and are expensive.
