Re: Apistos in the south-(link to Felipe Cantera).



Hi Mike!
 
Yes, I´m really curious about where the southern boundry is for the apisto species? If I understand Felipe Cantera right, there are no apistos found in the southern part of Uruguay. I wonder If that´s because of the climate, or the absence of rivers connecting to the uruguay river?
 
By the way, while I was searching the net for info about Ap.Commbrae I came across this spanish page.
 
http://atlas.drpez.org/view_album.php?set_albumName=albuv15
 
 Would you say that this fish is a Ap. commbrae? I´m not sure. Shouldn´t the lateral line connect to the tail-spot? It´s interrupted on this fish.
I had wildcaught commbraes some years ago that came as bycatch with a batch of Borellis from Mato Grosso. They had a clear thick lateral line which ended up on the tail-root as a spot. I also had, what I thought were czech bred Commbraes. And they looked very much like the fish on the page linked.  They were definately a commbrae group member, But I was never sure if they really were commbraes.

Per,

It looks like A. commbrae all right. If the fish pictured at: 
http://www.aqvaterra.com/photos/peces/galeria_ciclidos/apistogramma_commbrae_550x380.jpg
is from Salto, then it is the most southern documented apisto in South 
America. It would be interesting to learn if other apisto species do 
occur in Uruguay. BTW the Aqva Terra web site in both Spanish & English.
