Definately appistogramma. Possibly sp. Boreli

Thanks, I suppose I 'll get some sort of cave for him soon then.

The hard part is it is small and baby cichlids often change their colors once they get bigger

 

[Gage]

i agree it looks pretty darn Apistogramma.

 

[pdbrady]

My papers are going in the apisto file as well.

I'm going to go as far and say Apistogramma sp. "Nanay" but i'm no expert

 

[PufferXtreme]

defo A. Borelli

 

[rainbowfishpc]

There was an artical about A boreli in TFH, they look nothing a like.

 

[straitjacketstar]

Apistogramma sp. "Steel Blue".
There's some controversy surrounding this little apisto. Most apisto experts tend to agree it is a cultured hybrid. Females are hard to find and most believe it is to control this popular little fish's numbers.
