I am no expert but I do not believe that the fish pictured is A diplotania. I do not see the distinct split lateral line stripe. Mind you I am no Mike Wise.

They have this feature since young?

he is in ph inadequate (6.5)

Are these domestically bred fish or wild? The markings on the caudal fin look wrong for A. diplotaenia. I believe that it is more likely that it is A. sp. Parati (A 40). I would need some more photos to be certain - photos of the female, better (more in focus) photos of the tail.

Hello,

It is wild, I will provide better pictures,
Thanks

Definitly not A. diplotaenia.

I think that is not an Apistogramma specie but a young Taeniacara candidi .
