A. Agassizii

[Van Ty]

Hi All.
I am a new member in Apistogramma addiction group. Now I have Ap. Cacatuoides, Borelii, fire red, Macmasteri. There are many kind of Apistogramma until now. And sometime, somebody calling difference name with the same fish. It make me very confuse.
I have one couple, The seller told me that is A. Agassizii double red, but I found that some people also have the fish same (color, size), and they calling it is Peru red.
I am confusing now. Double red or peru red? or that is one?
Please help me to have fully understand.

These are only commercial names. Anyone can sell their fish under any name that they want. As Shakespear wrote, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (Quote from Romeo and Juliet).
