Gephyra female or other apisto???

[miguelgr7]

I would like to help me identify this apisto. thanks

Note the distinctly separate (from the lateral band) caudal spots on the 2 'females'. Definitely NOT A. gephyra. To me they look like a pair of A. cf. pertensis (commonly collected with A. gephyra).

the seller insists that it is a female Gephyra

Obviously the seller knows more about sell apistos than identifying them!

Mike, You know any way to report this problem, I do not want to continue deceiving more people.

My guess is that the dealer bought the lot as "A. gephyra" and sold them as such. Sadly the best defense is for the buyer to know how to identify his fish. If anyone has seen any of my programs, they have seen the 1st picture (cartoon) that states "Know your fish".

I agree Mike, do you know who has the real gephyra female for sale and shishita male?

Sorry, but I don't keep tabs on who has what. Hopefully someone will see your post and contact you.

Hello Mike, the seller sent me two fish replacement but I think they are males ??? What do you think.

 

[Mike Wise]

Both appear to be males. Females show no pattern in the caudal fin.
