Is anyone able to identify this Apisto for me?

Hi There

I would be really grateful if someone could ID the fish in the piccie below. I got it with some Apisto Vielflecks, although it has always been larger than the others and has the distinctive 2 spots in its middle and just before the tail.

Many thanks

Ian

It strongly resembles a female A. steindachneri

The photo isn't good enough for a positive ID. Jeff probably is right. It is a steindachneri-group species.

Thanks chaps - apologies for the poor quality of the photo which is down to a rubbish camera and operator! I'll try and get a better picture

Hi Mike and Aquaclarity - hopefully these pictures are better:

A clearer shot of the fish showing while she is showing the black blotch in the middle of her body would be a HUGE help but right now I'd still say it's A. steindachneri.

I agree with Jeff, most likely A. steindachneri.
