Wetspot has a few megastoma for sale (wc but unclear if red specs or yellow specs) but i was comparing pictures to my ipiranga and other then the ipiranga having blue specs the form, shape and colouring of the fishes look very similar. In my naive way i would almost thing the ipirgana is a blue spec megastoma.

So i was wondering if someone with actual knowledge about the fishes taxonomy might know in more detail how the two species differ....

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
