Kathy,
Your mail wrap doesn't work for me, either (I. use Netscape Communicator).
Apistogramma sp. Orangeflossen (Orange-finned) is listed in several books (Linke & Staeck, Koslowski, and Schmettkamp). The first two have a photo by Koslowski of a very ugly looking fish. The photo in Schmettkamp's book (by the author) shows a lovely fish with a white body and dark brown stripes, gold gill covers, and sky-blue fins edged in red-orange.
Linke, Koslowski, & Romer believe it's a hybrid species probably an A. agassizii x A. bitaeniata cross. The irregular scaling on the caudal peduncle is supposed to be a sign of hybridization. The species originally popped up in the early 80s in norther Germany. Schmettkamp states that it's easy to breed, but in both Linke & Staeck and Koslowski they say it's not very fertile. Schmettkamp's report was from the early 80s. His fish, being more fertile and
colorful, were probably F1. Koslowski's ugly forms may have been F2 or later. Their infertility is a good indication that Orangeflossen is a hybrid.

In the old literature I have hear of a A sp. Orangeflossen....in the bitaeniata subcomplex. Any one else know about this. I have never seen this fish....just another color morph or an actual species. Anyway, I think Nick may have one hiding out in his back room :) Gorgeous fish.
