How many kinds of color-morphy are there for A. sp. Breitbinden?
(I have heard of the white, yellow and red species...)

There are a couple of forms closely related to A. sp. Breitbinden/Broad-banded besides just color morphs:

A. sp. Breitbinden - comes from many different localities with slightly different color morphs. As far as I know no one has formally listed different color morphs.

A. cf. sp. Breitbinden ("Brevis") - less developed dorsal spines & wider spaced caudal fin bands.

A. cf. sp. Breitbinden (São Gabriel)/A. sp. Windisch - similar to Breitbinden but with a large caudal peduncle patch below the lateral band.

Thanks Mike ^.^
Are there some photos (on the web) that can show the types/morphies
of fish that you mentioned? Thanks again.

I like the photos on Rayon Vert Aqua's web site: http://www.rva.ne.jp/apisto/4.htm. It as many species pictured, but not all are accurately identified. See the following for the species in question:

http://www.rva.ne.jp/apisto/bretbinden_k2_2.html – A. cf. sp. Breitbinden São Gabriel

http://www.rva.ne.jp/apisto/brevis.html – A. cf. sp. Breitbinden “Brvisâ€Â
