Re: Agassizii breeding assistance needed

Dave,

I put very little trust in collecting locations given by commercial suppliers.
Private collectors tend to be much more open. Although A. bitaeniata is not
recorded from the Rio Ampiyacu itself, blackwater streams nearby are known to
have this species.

If your fish are over a year old, check the back edge of the caudal fin. Female
agassizii will have a well rounded edge while female bitaeniata have a more
squared off edge, especially at the top and bottom.
