Re: Re colorful apistos
Bar 6 is the next-to-last vertical bar on the flanks of an apisto. In A. eunotus
this bar shows a very slight widening below the lateral band. Within the lower
part of this bar the middle scales are lighter than the rest, making it look like
it forks. This is found only on mature individuals. This is very hard to see on
live fish. It is best seen on preserved specimens or photos of stressed live
specimens.
A. sp. Rio Tahuayo belongs to the eunotus-complex of the regani-group. I don't
think anyone uses bridge species within a complex. It is just a species closely
related to A. cruzi & A. eunotus.
