A. Nijsseni ID

[gacasey@ibm.net]

Hello
I have a problem with an ID on some of my Apisto's. I brought them back
from a trip to Baltimore several months ago and now that they have
colored up I am not sure what they are. I purchased them as A. Nijsseni,
But I have been reading so much about mis-IDed fish I am wondering if
that is in fact what they are.Of the 4 fish I have, There is 1 male and
3 females. The male is a light sky-blueover his body witha blk spot on
his tail that extends onto his body. His paired fins are orangy-yellow,
and there is an orange stripe around the outside edge of his tail fin.
Of the females 2 look alike, in that they have 2 spots on their side and
the other only has 1 spot. The fish have a yellow base color with a blk
stripe through the eye and a blk spot on the side with 2 of them havind
another spot at the base of the tail. Paired fins are the same as the
male and so is the circle{stripe} around the edge of the tail. They are
in a 55 that is heavily planted with some other Apisto's, A. Gibbiceps,
A. Borellei, and A. Agasizzi. There are also  12-15 Cory's in the tank
and a pr of angelfish. The A. Nijsseni look to be in spawning color and
I am wondering if I should remove them and give it a whack or wait and
try later whan I am a little more ready for some fry. One last item, I
also have some  A. Pandurini juveniles and I am wondering just how much
this fish looks like the A. Nijsseni look alike when they are adults as
I don't want to get them mixed up and end up misidentifing some fish if
I sell the fry. Either or I do appreciate any help I can get and I do
apoligize for the length of this post.
TIA Gareth
