WC Apistogramma sp. "Ipiranga" from Brazil

These are the first photos I have of them and they are adapting well, they still need more color but with more time they will look great

A. sp. "Ipiranga" is a barlowi-complex species from western Brazil. Other than A. sp. "Elzeniense", found near Manaus, this species is located farther east than any other now known barlowi-complex species. We know very little about Ipiranga, not even if it mouthbroods at times.

I'll do that when they get better established, they still have 3 days with me.
