I know of only 3 mis-ID'd fish in the Linke & Staeck (1994) book: Page 40/42: This isn't the true A. caetei, but a close relative called A. sp. Paraguay (Koslowski) & A. sp. Paraguay I (Aqualog). Page 49: Again, possibly not A. eunotus, but a very closely related species called A. sp. Orangeschwanz (Orange-tail) by Linke & Staeck (1984) and Koslowski. Page 116 & 117: Not the true A. resticulosa, but A. sp. Wangenflecken (Cheek-spotted) from the mouth of the Amazon. I haven't read all the way through Mayland & Bork yet, but I do know that there are some text and photo errors. > Or we could go on to identifying females! :-) > Jason Koslowski started an excellent study on differentiating female apistos a couple of years ago. The original article differentiated females by species-groups for the most part. I haven't heard of any subsequent articles. Does anyone know any more about it?Mike Wise > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@majordomo.pobox.com. > For instructions on how to subscribe or unsubscribe or get help, > email apisto-request@majordomo.pobox.com. > Search http://altavista.digital.com for "Apistogramma Mailing List Archives"! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@majordomo.pobox.com.
