Hi All,
a friend of my just returned from his expedition. He found a interesting fish, which we hardly can identify. The fish has been collected on a expedition from Ernst van Genne/ Johan Egberts and located around 13 km away from letitia.
Can someone help me on identifying this species? Is it just a Cacatuoides, or maby a juruensis or something?

poor photograph of a female:

It is probably A. cacatuoides. It looks like what TomC, Julio Melgar and I collected in this location. It almost looks like it has a separate caudal spot, but this is often seen on some A. cacatuoides, where the lateral band thins and quickly swell on the caudal peduncle.

thx Mike, it is a nice fish that's for sure! I am curious how the fish does look like in a tank.. First of all we need to see what kind of fish survived the trip...

Wow. The male looks very very nice. Cacatuoides or not, I'd personally want to keep and breed it.
