Sadly A. sp. Tapiche never arrived in the hobby through a commercial source. It comes from a location too far away for local collectors to consider collecting. The European specimens were brought back by hobbyist collectors. They distributed it to other hobbyists, but I don't know if anyone keeps it now.

Mike, we imported something called Apistogramma sp. Tapiche (not Alto Tapiche, not sure if that changes anything) last year. Mostly males, but several females as well. They were distributed to people in the States. I have photos if you would like to see to verify that they were true.

Hi Drayden Farci+ all..

Your sp. Tapiche might be the same Apisto that I ordered from a Chechian wholesaler a few months ago..!!??
These/Mine spawned easily and have fry now. They were named
Apistogramma sp. aff. eunotus Rio Tapiche F1
.. and sure looks like a true eunotus...

I guess the sp "Alto Tapiche " which Fortunato is asking for is another Apisto (pics from a Japanese website are stunning, although special light/flash is used..)..,
...but I would like to see your photos anyway.. :)

..And therefore I have always thought that the gorgeous sp. "Alto Tapiche" were brought home only one time from Nature + photographed by a Japanese person..??

Cheers,
Micke

A. sp. Alto Tapiche have been commercially imported to the Netherlands some time ago. At the moment hobbyists in Germany, The Netherlands and France (and maybe other European countries) keep them.

Not the best picture as it was before they really colored up. What do you think?
