Hi,

can you please help me to identify these apistos? I will have more photos in the future; for now there are few fish from Venezuela, Amazonas state, near Puerto Ayacucho:

Pair from another locality, but probably the same species...?

The photos are not good enough to identify the species. All I can say is that they are a species that belongs to the hongsloi-complex of the macmasteri-group.

Hi Mike, thanks a lot, this is already a good info for me. Dwarf cichlids are not my cup of tea... no offense, they are beautiful :)
I am sorry for the photo quality, but there was VERY low light.

...I will post later some better pics of fish that were caught and photographed in a tank, hopefully you would be willing to help me again. Thank you!!
