Hi all,
I'm really poor at these, but I'll "set the ball rolling", a male A. macmasteri with really long fin extension?

cheers Darrel

Could be, Darrel, but I don't think so. It looks more like a regani-group species, possibly a eunotus-complex species. Does the blue gill cover give anyone an idea?? I need more info on the fish. See the species ID 'sticky'.

The A. eunotus I collected at Santa Ana had gill covers like that but not the fin extensions.

Hey Mike, I got it from someone Who got fish from Mike friese! I was told it was A. Eunotus orangeschwanz

Probably is a domestic form of A. cf. eunotus (Orangeschwanz), the same as the Santa Ana population IMHO. It does look rather skinny, however. I've seen domestic strains with extreme fin extensions like this. I've even seen wild specimens of other eunotus-complex species with such finnage.
