Hello all,
I recently got hold of a “pair” of A. Ortegai Nanay and I’m not quite sure if this one is a female or not. She is more blue under aquarium light, but I flashed a light onto her side in the picture. Any help would be amazing as there aren’t many left at the shop.
I can get more pictures later today, this was all I mange’s to get.

Cheers Nik,

Looks like a female from what I can see, but a complete photo of the fish would be helpful. BTW ignore the "Nany" part. The fish are not from the Rio Nanay, but the Rio Ampiyacu.

Thank you, maybe I will be lucky to skip getting two more I also managed to get a few more pictures, hope it helps solidify the ID better.

Oh, and I’ll skip the nanay part, your expertise is the best! Thank you.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
