Hi, I have recently become enlightened to the Apistogramma in all it's forms it seems. I've decided to dedicate my 100 Gallon 4x2x2 planted with lots of tree root systems to these little dwarf Cichlids. I've bought a few pairs over the last few weeks, all doing fine but think I've made a few mistakes, could anyone help with the I.d for these please? I'm planning on having as many little pairs/groups as I can in here so all advice an help appreciated

Not the Nanochromis, after an ID on the Ap please

These seem to have paired off after just a couple of days

I'm told this could be a Rio Tefe? I've had this guy for months now, grown an coloured up so much

As I say I'm pretty new to all these despite having a lot of experience on the bigger cichlids. Any positive IDs on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Vinny

All those with names seem to be ID'd correctly except the 'Rio Tefe', which is a really old A. cacatuoides triple red male. The female whose male died looks like A. macmasteri. As for the regani-lineage species without names, I'd need more and better photos.

Hopefully these are a little better. Both these pairs are from Germany apparently. The sizes I've put on the pics

About 1.5 inches

I went back to check on what they were labelled as, they were labelled as Ap. boreli an Ap. algadon or viejeta. They seem right? look slightly different although they haven't coloured up yet
