will the real A. agassizi Tefe please stand up?

[swaldron@slip.net]

so I guess if you guys can discuss eight foot long rams than I suppose I
can imbue my aggies with the ability for bipedalism...

Hi folks,
Long time no read... glad to be back amongst the apisto-philes- the only
cichild hobbyists with good taste...Question for those in the know...I
recently aquired some aggies sold to me as Tefe aggies but no so sure that
is what they are...they do have the same caudal pattern as a Tefe aggie but
different from photos that I have seen of Tefe's in that the male's of
these fish (btw, just starting to come into maturation) have a strong
yellow/orange coloration to the ventral region of the body (i.e. 1/2 the
caudal, the pelvics, anal fin) with a purple sort of wash to to the lateral
body scales and bright blue irridescent scales on the opercula. The body
shape is pretty much the standard aggie-look- nothing like the elongated
purple/yellow aggie in the Koslowski book and not very "gephyra-like"
either. it's a beautiful fish but not sure what is diagnostic of a Tefe.
Any ideas? thanks!
