I got this little bugger 2 months ago. Has grown maybe 2 cm. It's about an inch in total length. Still not sure on the sex.
Came in with a bunch of cardinal tetras. Shopguy didn't even know it was there.
Forgive the picture quality. Very hard to take a picture of such a small, darty and shy subject.

So far I only know what it's not. I have an idea about which group it may belong to but since I'm not an Apisto expert by any means, I need, and would greatly appreciate, anyone else's input.
Thank you for your time. :biggrin:

It is still too small to identify with certainty, but it appears to be one of the species belonging to the iniridae-group (no caudal spot). I expect the dorsal to grow considerably. My best guess right now is that it is A. uaupesi. I will not guess about its sex until it is almost twice its present size.
