Good evening,

First one would be Apistogramma iniridae group (uninterupted lateral band running down into the caudal fin), I would think you will need a shot of the male to identify just which member of the group you have.

Second one, not sure...

I think that your first fish is a A. iniridae female and the second is A. sp "Breitbinden" maybe a female.

Mix of the 2 species often arrives:wink:.

I agree with the others. The first is almost certainly A. iniridae. The second is a brevis-group fish, probably Breitbinden, but I'm not positively certain that it is a female.

For me second fish is A. sp. "Breitbinden". And this fish looks for me like a male because of lyre shaped caudal fin. How dorsal fin looks like?

Thank you for your comments.

Fish arrived in one box labeled as iniridae. As Lolojil mentioned it was mix of A. sp "Breitbinden" (I don't have male photo), A. iniridae

Ive also had mixed shipments of A.iniridae and A.sp.Kurzlappen. A species very closely related to A.sp.Breitbinden but without the extended dorsal fin lappets....

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.
