ID Please!!! this Agassizii is Wild??

[miguelgr7]

Hello everyone, I wonder if this Agassizii is wild type? or is Tefe orange? Flamenco? wild blue? Mike you can help to identify please. Thanks

It looks like one of the red dorsal/red tail specimens found in many locations in Peru. Without a known location, that is as good as it gets. I will say that the lateral band on the caudal peduncle is unusually wide in the bottom photo. It probably is just in an odd mood if not always displaying this feature.

Thanks Mike for your prompt response, then could be called wild agassizii SP??? or CF?

 

[Mike Wise]

No, it is just A. agassizii IMHO. You can describe it anyway you want as long as you are honest, but definitely not a "cf." form.

Mike what name you can identify. what name you put him

 

[Mike Wise]

A. agassizii. If you can put the red back in the fins, then Red-top/Red-tail A. agassizii. Just realize that males of wild A. agasszii are usually polychromatic in their biotopes. You can get several different color combination in the same net. This means the the offspring probably will show different color combinations, too.
