Just bought nice wild caught Apistograma Elizabethae "South Gabreil" I notice that the male's body look lighter compared to normal Elizabethae I have ever seen and when it's flaring sometime it's look white-gray body and the cheek became red.

São Gabriel (da Cachoeira) is the collecting station where these fish were held prior to being shipped to Manaus for export. Your fish were most likely collected in the Rio Uaupés. Body color differences can be due to many different factors besides collecting site.

Thank you Mike
