Is this a gibbiceps?

[Hudson Ensz]

After seeing some pictures of sp. branco i became doubtful.
This was collected up in Boa Vista.
So what is it?

yes hudson it's an A.Gibbiceps

It might be A. roraimae. I need to see the black bars on the flanks to be certain.

Unfortunately i dont think i have a picture with the bars, what is the differance?
The fish in the picture died, he jumped out while i was doing maintenence and wedged himself in a place where i couldnt find him, when i finally did, i put him in the tank but fin rot got a grip on him and he died :frown:
I have two females and a juvi though.

The diagonal abdominal bars on the body of A. gibbiceps tend to be broad and occur where the vertical bars on other apisto occur. The diagonal bars on A. roraimae tend to be narrow stripes that occur not only where the vertical bars normally occur, but also in the areas between the bars. I suggest that you get a copy of the DATZ special publication if you can. It shows photos of each.
