This makes me wish I had taken better records back in my early collecting days. I believe I brought this back from a early Peru collecting trip. May have been from the Rio Mazan but I'm not sure. Sorry about the picture quality. fullsizeoutput_c22.jpegfullsizeoutput_c23.jpeg

Hey there!
Do you have any more of these unidentified fishes?
It’s always fun to do a little guess work. -and now that i have mergus vol1, it might actually become more than just guesswork

See page 996 in the English edition (yes, I have both German and English editions),

The answer is in the number of anal fin spines: more than 3 (rarely 4) and it is not an apisto.

You are correct. This was an off spring from some T-bars I collected in Peru. It's body was nearly white and was completely different from the other fish. I seperated him into his own tank after which, of course, he jumped out and died.
