Re: Appisto ID help

Brad,

Hard to say. Maybe A. steindachneri? I would need to know more about the body
shape and height of the dorsal fin. What size are the fish now? How long are the
ventral fins? How far does the dorsal fin extend to the back? How wide is the
lateral band? Does the lateral band have a larger spot in it, above it, or none
at all? Does the dorsal fin have a serrated (saw edged) top to it or is it fairly
flat like you aggie's? How large and what shape is the c.p. spot? Does the tail
have any kind of pattern/color? All of these will help ID your fish.
