ID needed

[MaryPa]

How do we post pics? I need this ID`d. I know she`s an apistogramma but never knew what type.

Looks like a Nannacara anomala female in breeding colors

Lol all this time I thought I had a pair of apistos. I gave the male and juvis to my LFS, he" took them off my hands " in the spring. He said they`d be hard to sell since I didn`t know the ID. I bet he knew. I`ve been trying to ID her so I can get a male. ApistoDave ID`d her as Nanacara taenia. Ugh now to find another male.

If it is N. taenia it should have narrow horisontal lines along the side of the fish like this: http://www.thekrib.com/Apisto/N-taenia-fem2.jpg

It's hard to say with this photo, but with a lateral photo it is easy to distinguish to them. :wink:

N. taenia has several fine horizontal rows that N. anomala does not have.
