ID please

[Bill82]

I hope these photoes of the male are better for ID I used my brothers camera instead of iphone

 

[Bill82]

Wild cought sold as A.Norberty female is Norberty

 

[Mike Wise]

Definitely not A. norberti. It looks like one of the populations of A. cf. eunotus (Schwanzstreifen/Tail-stripes).

Thank you very much for your help mike wise

 

[Andrew Powell]

I would say Eunotus. This is our male (Wild caught).

 

[Mike Wise]

I doubt anyone here has ever seen the real (holotype form) of A. eunotus.

Holotype?

Holotype?

The fish used to describe the species by the author of said species.

So essentially as A.Euntous is described and imaged by the discoverer?

 

[Mike Wise]

Yes. It is a different form/species, with a different body shape (deeper) and some dark markings that are different from the commonly available forms we find in the hobby now. The eunotus-complex species presently in the hobby - and there are several - are exclusively from the lower Río Ucayali and parts of the Peruvian Amazon downstream from Iquitos. AFAIK the true A. eunotus has never been in the hobby, unless A. cf. eunotus (Shahuayo), the Pink Apisto in the hobby during the 70s and 80s, is it. The Shahuayo form is very similar to that of the holotype form in body and dark markings, and occurs much closer to the collecting locality of the holotype form of A. eunotus.
