Probably not a juruensis ...

Hello,

I've just got a pair of Apisto, named as juruensis, but I'm not so sure anymore now ... does anybody can confirm the id ?

Thanks

Hi there,

Top picture I would put as Ap. cacatuoides (lateral line runs into the caudal spot, Ap. juruensis has a break between the lateral line and caudal spot). I would also suggest the bottom picture is the corresponding female.

I agree, A. cacatuoides.

Thanks Andrew and Mike ... I hope I will get juruensis next time ...

The true A. juruensis (A 197) is exceedingly rare in the commercial trade. Most fish sold as "A. juruensis" are actually A. sp. Black-chin (198/199). The true juruensis comes from Brazil, while the Black-chin is from Peru.
