I have this fish & it's very beautiful.........It will be featured on the cover of the 2nd edition of Mergus Cichlid Atlas. Dr. Uwe Romer calls it Apistogramma sp. Nanay hope this helps a little....

I was about to order some apistos from a stocklist with a lot of strange names. This is what Mike replied to me; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Per, There are more names for different populations of known species than I can keep track of. Still I do recognize some of your fish: > > Ap. Hauswell = A. sp. Maulbrüter/Mouthbrooder/Brustband/Breast-band - brevis or cacatuoides-group, depending on who you ask > Ap. Huallaga - ? new to me > Ap. Kiko = A. cf. eunotus (Orange-tail) - eunotus-complex > Ap. Laulate - ? new to me > Ap. Papagayo = A. sp. Papagei/Parrot/Algodon I - Pebas-complex > Ap. Paracas = A. cf. eunotus (Orange-tail) - eunotus-complex > Ap. Sanchez ? new to me > Ap. Blue eye ? new to me > Ap. Painted face = A. sp. Carapintada, probably the form known as A. sp. Masked/Masken, not A. sp. Winkelfleck/Angle-patch - regani-complex I hope this helps.

But the names are rather interesting. Could you please tell me if you already heard about these names, or have seen any of them: A. (bitaeniata?) "Shishita" (though this is not sure) A. sp. "Sunset" (not atahualpa) Apistogramma sp "Kiko" Apistogramma sp. "Huallaga" Apistogramma sp. "Hauswell" They are quite small and I don't know if it is worth trying one or two species of the above.
