Re: Apistogramma moae

Dave,

I doubt that they are the real A. moae. This species hasn't been distributed
commercially that I know of. Everyone who has the true A. moae got them from
Elsässer's original fish. I would imagine that the commercial 'A. moae' is
actually A.cf. moae (Nauta) from Peru. This is a color form of the fish that
Koslowski introduced as A. sp. Schwarzbrust (Black-breast). Having said this I
must admit that there is always the possibility that they actually are the true
A. moae. Several new fish coming from the upper Juruá are now coming into the
country.
