Very nice fish Todd. I know you have more, so come on, show us the goodies.

Oh, and what's the apisto male above the Nannacara anomala.

That is a stunning filamentosus specimen, good job on the selection and care. Have you bred your dicrossus?

 

[bettamuse]

Briz the male above the anamola came in as A alacrina.

eageraquarist, The little filamentosus is still young so he should only get better. I haven't had these either of the Dicrossus spawn yet.

No, the fish is A. sp. Rotpunkt, possibly the yellow Porto Nariño color form.

Stunning T. Very nice fish.

Thanks all, the more I watch my Apistos the more I am taken with them.
Mike, Thanks for clearing up the rotpunkt.
I was looking at rotpunkt and alacrina on the net but a lot of the pics are the same for the two species.
I think he's still is a stunner under any name and very happy to have him in my collection.
Here is the girl that came with him.

Sadly, many dealers, breeders, and authors - but not the author who introduced both forms (Dr. S. O. Kullander) - jumped in to claim that A. sp. Rotpunkt and A. alacrina are the same. The two forms have several minor differences, plus a different range. Because of this, I still call the Rotpunkt Apisto "A. sp. Rotpunkt". On the other hand, one could do like the DATZ book did: use "A. cf. alacrina" for A. sp. Rotpunkt . Either would be correct, but definitely not "A. alacrina".

These are the my Pelvicachromis roloffi.
Sorry for the soft light pics but these guys still have not settled down and hide when ever you look into the tank.
