Nice fish, but: Could you take a picture in neutral white light? The blueish light is shifting the colours.

It's most likely A. sp. Schwarzkehl/Black-throat which unfortunately is still often called "A. viejita III" despite it being not just a population/form of A. viejita but rather a separate species. "Most likely" because there are two other forms, D29 and D30, which can be safely distinguished from Schwarzkehl only by means of their catch locations. However, since the latter two are from more remote areas and afaik have never been in the trade so far, I'm quite sure your fish is Schwarzkehl. Btw when you google for A. viejita 90% of the results you find will be A. macmasteri...

Thank so much Frank, is definitely a A. sp Schwarzkohl, your answer has been more than instructional.

It's "SchwarzkEhl" with an e, (meaning "black throat"), "Schwarzkohl" is literally "black cabbage", meaning Italian Kale. ;) Sry, I teach German.
Oh yeah, I wrote it wrong. Thanks for the clarification, I´ll just gonna call him black throat jeje :cool:
