Please help me with identification that fish.




I bought them as Ap. juruensis F0 (Blue form - I'm sure they aren't that form, but I'm not sure they are juruensis)

They bred in my Black Water tank today :)

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH :biggrin:

Not juruensis

Hi K-Pon,

Your fish seem to be the undescribed species Apistogramma sp. "Black Chin"/Schwarzkinn. It shares some similarities with A. juruensis that have not been exported for a while. The most prominent similarity is that the spot at the tail root (caudal spot) is separated from the stripe along the side, as opposed to A. cacatuoides that has a continous stripe.
The males of A. juruensis have blue lips like A. cacatuoides. The males of your species have yellow/orange lips.
Your fish would have to be exported from Peru, where they occur naturally.

Congratulations on the sapwn :)
