Thank you for your infomation Mike Wise. I don't really know the locality caught of their parent but the supplier told they are from Rio Careiro.
Could you have some photo of wild Agassizii Careiro and wild A. cf. agassizii BBCS (Broad Black Caudal Seam) for comparison.
I need to see because at my place there is difficult identify the variety and locality place of fish, mostly depend on supplier.
See: http://www.rva.jp/zukan/apisto/ap_agassizii4201.htm. A. cf. agassizii BBCS is one of the members of the A. agassizii superspecies. It occurs south of the main channel of the Amazon from just upriver from the mouth of the Rio Madeira to its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean. Careiro is only a collecting locality. Many populations of A. cf. aggassizii BBCS appear similar, so it is difficult to determine where the fish originated. Therefore we have to depend on the honesty of the importer and retailer.
