ID please

[HandS]

A firend has this pair of apistos that have spawned for him. They are wild caught and were sold as Apisto Atahualpa but after seeing them, a doubt that they are.. Any chance of anyone ID'ing them

Thanks in advance :biggrin:

They are A. cf. eunotus, probably Orange-tail/Orangeschwanz.

Cool, thanks Mike. Just 1 Question, What does the "cf." mean?????

 

[rafael]

cf. = conform.

A. cf. eunotus = Apistogramma similar (conform) to A. eunotus, sometimes it is used A. sp. aff. (species affinis).

To be completely correct cf. is an abbreviation for confer, but I fully agree with Rafael in the interpretation.
