Help With ID PLS

[mematrix]

Hi All. First want to appoligize for pics not the best Camera but learning. I have resqued an apisto and was told it was a female hongsloi after getting it back to health I am pretty certain it is not a hongsloi. I want to say it is a mcmasterii or possibly veijita but those are just guesses. any help would be appreciated again sorry for pics will try to get better ones just got a new camera.

It's impossible to ID from the fuzzy photos.

Bump Try again

Hi All hear are a couple more pics of this fish hopefully clearer this time. It's hard to get with my Camera it's on of those auto focus Canon A540 still trying to get it figured out. So even a guess will help.

Curtis,

My guess, based on what I can see right now, is that it is a domestic form of the "A. macmasteri/viejita" strain. Does it ever show a ladder-like lateral band? If it does, then it might be a domestic strain of A. hongsloi. It is a very stange apisto. It seems to have too many vertical bars. Macmasteri-group species often have 8 (1 more than usual), but yours has at least 9!

re to post

Hi All thanks for replys. I am pretty sure it is not hongsloi I have had it in with both of my 2 hongsloi males and there is no reaction or chemestry between them at all except get out of my space reactions.There is no l ladder-like lateral line only the vertical stripes which I count 8 of.not including the caudel.
