What complex?

What complex are gibbiceps and eunotus a part of?

 

[retro_gk]

A. gibbiceps belongs to the gibbiceps complex and A. eunotus to the eunotus complex.

A. gibbiceps belongs to the gibbiceps complex and A. eunotus to the eunotus complex.

There are no complexes in the A. gibbiceps group. ;-)
The A. gibbiceps group belongs to the A. agassizii line (not A. agassizii group! ...it's a sister-group to this.)

The A. eunotus complex belongs to the A. regani group.

I stand corrected

thanks! i had a feeling the eunotus were in the macmasteri complex due to the general appearance and the fin shapes, but now I know :wink:

I certainly would not be surprised to learn that the macmasteri-group species originated from some eunotus-complex species, sometime in the distant past.

sorry to get off topic and hijack my own thread lol, but Mike, I never noticed you were from Denver!!! So am I!

I've been keeping apistos here in Denver for nearly 30 years. I presented a program to the Rocky Mountain Cichlid Association earlier this month on "Breeding Apistogramma for Fun ... and Profit?" Too bad I didn't know that you live here or I would have let you know. I'll be at the Colorado Aquarium Society (as a member) on Friday evening. Maybe we can meet there.

I didnt go to RMCA cause I blew a tire the day before and didnt have a ride lol, I actually saw that someone was speaking about dwarfs and was very upset I couldn't make it. I'm a CAS member as well and I'll be there on friday. I'm the younger guy with the tattoos who is always hanging around with Mickey
