I bought this female about two weeks ago, sold as Apistogramma elizabethae, but I'm not entirely sure about the identification.
The two black lateral spots and pelvic fins seem to fit A. elizabethae. However, the caudal and dorsal fin shape, as well as the possibility of three lateral spots instead of two, make me wonder if it could be A. gephyra.
The lateral stripe almost disappears at times, revealing the spots, but frequent interactions with other fish make the coloration difficult to assess.
The fish is approximately 4–5 cm.
What do you think?
