Hello Alfredo Did you buy this female on the same occasion you bought the male? Did they came from the same tank in this shop? I think that it can be possible that you have a steelblue female. I vote for keeping the offspring to see what they look like. Do you have a photo of the female? Perhaps it is possible to identify her.

However, a female (unknown ID) has been breeding with that male. I would like to find out if they are from the same species and if it is etically correct to breed them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
