I purchased a wierd apisto. My dealer told me it was a blue headed agassizi. But I don't think it is. anyone know what this fish is?

Does anyone know what thisreally is?

Apistogramma sp. "Steel Blue"

Dear Eicello,

That sure looks like Apistogramma. sp. "Steel Blue" to me too, a hybrid "developed" in Singapore.

All the best,

I recently puchased an apisto from a LFS and they sold it to me as A. agassizii "blue face". I now know that it is actually sp. steel blue and it looks virtually identical to the fish in your photo.
