Hi folks,

I picked this guy up about 4 months ago (when less than 20mm), he was a contaminant in with some wild caught Dicrossus filamentosus I received.

Apologies for the poor quality pics, for speed I held him in an old breeding trap but this doesn't give the cleanest of pictures.

So, is it aggie or gephrya???

I would say A. gephyra for 2 reasons:
1. the tail & dorsal markings are consistent with A. gephyra (and a few A. agassizii)
2. A. agassizii is not found associated with D. filamentosus, but A. gephyra is.
