Hi All,

New here and new to Apistogramma. This was a turn in at a LFS and there isn't anything else to go on. I have a female but no picture yet. I am not 100% it is the same though they do seem to be flirting. Colors are still developing I believe. Anyways, thought I'd sign up and post some pics - any help on ID would be appreciated too.

All from today - different colors in different lights.

Thanks for the info MIke :)

I'll get a picture of her but I'm not sure it is a pair of the same type because the guy at the store to which they were turned in didn't have any details on them at all.

Still can't say what it is. The photos of the female show no distinctly separate caudal spot nor a distinct caudal patch. It could be A. sp. Pebas or a mix of the 2 species. The 2 species often came in together labeled A. sp. Algodon.

Thanks a bunch for looking again. Do you think the female is close enough to be a mate or does it look like I might not have gotten a pair?
