South American Cichlids • What kind of apistogramma is this?

[Msingh93]

Hello all I recently purchased an apistogramma juruensis and I have a sneaking feeling it is a female apistogramma cacatuoides and that it was just labeled incorrectly. My LFS hasnt been what it used to be lately. Any help here would be great thanks.

Well, it's not a cacatuoides. Cannot verify the ID as juruensis either, as I am not that familiar with the species to ID a female. Maybe hit up Mike Wise over at Apistogramma.com, he can ID just about anything. Wouldn't surprise me if he could ID the wigglers still in the eggs!

Thanks so much!
