ID please

[Spyder]

Hi all, I have a group of Apistos that are breeding, two trios. I got them from Dave Soures and were supposed to be Bitaeniata, I know they are not even close but I don't know what they are. I have some good pics so I hope someone can ID them. The largest male is only 1 1/2"

Thank you for any help, Michael

This is A. sp. aff. "Peixoto". It is one of the populations of the A. sp. "Xingu/Vielfleck" series.

Looks to me like A.sp.vielfleck/multi-spot

And it looks like you have a bitaeniata in the background of the first photo.

Thank you, Dave Soures came to Norwalk Connecticut to one of our club meetings and spoke. After the meeting many bags of Apistos went to auction that he brought. One species were Peixoto so he obviously has them. For the second time he shipped me the wrong species, or if Jeff is correct, he mixed the species sending me both Peixotos and bitaeniata together!

Thank you again
