juruensis

[Frauley/Elson <fraulels@minet.ca>]

Hi,
I have a lovely Peruvian fish here, identified as Apisto. juruensis.
I've seen the juruensis come and go, and at the point they went, they
were generally cacatuoides. This fish is weird though - like a yellow
cacatuoides but where many cacatuoides will have a mottled patch on the
caudal, these beasties have bright yellow ventrals, mottled from top to
bottom. It's very pretty and striking, especially when males are
courting the slightly larger than the average wild cacatuoides sized
females.
The males have the usual cacatuoides dorsal extensions, however, all
fins except the ventrals are clear or yellowish.
Any comments from anyone?
-Gary
