Hey guys. I picked up some fish as A. rupunini about a month ago. Low and behold, they spawned for me! I just wanted to make sure that the fish are identified correctly.

Here are some pictures of the female:

I'm sorry about the bad pictures. Higher resolution pics can be found here.

Thanks,
Sam

Probably A. rupununi, but could be A. hippolytae. The photos are not good enough to say for certain. The three photos all look like females. It would be nice to see photos of the male.

Okay, I'll put up some of the male tonight.

He just wasn't sitting still enough :)
