RE: A. sp. Wangenflecken??
ha, finally... i have seen these small apistos with the electric blue
markings showing up in the stores of a well known nyc area chain. but i was
never able to figure out what species they were.
it's frustrating as they only sell males, they are sold for $1.99 each, and
they are identified as "wild agassizi."

Isn't it funny (not!) that stores will call a fish anything to catch the eye
of an unsuspecting hobbyist. In this case if I'm right they are wrong on
both words in the description. The fish are likely to be a captive bred
colour form of A.caetei, referred to as "blue head". They appear sometimes
over here and are usually named A.borellii, always all males.
