ID Please

[weshays]

I have a nice Apisto that I was given, but I think is incorrectly ID'ed. My friend said it was a Borelli, but it doesn't look like any Borelli's I've seen. Any help is appreciated.

This is anew photobucket one.
It is kind of a long link, but it works.

Thanks once again.

The link seems to be wrong.

Jose - What did you get?

The site wants me to setup an account... try hosting on photobucket.

I think it's the (in)famous A. sp. "Steel Blue", as controversial species as they go
you will find a lot of information about it searching this forum.

Greg is absolutely correct. It is A. sp. Steel-blue/Blue-head/Blaukopf/New Blue ...

Yes, it´s the hybrid A. sp. "steel blue".

They arrived to my country (Argentina) 2 weeks ago for the first time.

It was funny:
Two weeks ago, three importers call me by phone telling me that they have a new Apisto (they know I´m an Apisto fan). I was very excited (I was wonder if they finally bring panduro, elizabethae, nijsseni), but when I saw the fish, I became very dissapointed, there were almost 300 A. sp. "steel blue". So I´ve to wait almost 4 months up to the next importation.
