gingerbeer Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Got a pair sold as A regani from Annerly about a month ago. Not sure as to whether they are really regani (doubtful) or something else closely related (like A. sp Masken) male female before spawn female with fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbeer Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thanks - they are definitely good quality. How confident are you in saying A regani? The problem with the regani group is there are a lot of them and they all look similar. In terms of identity one of the difficulties is that the male is quite young compared with the female. I was in Annerly again today and had a good look at there big male they still have there. This helps pin down the ID. I would now lean towards them being A sp masken. The reasoning is that the spot on the caudal penucle is wrong for A regani, and the banding on the tail. According to Mike Wise the pictures presented in CA2 for the peru regani are actually the A Masken - and the female matches 100% with those photos. My concern was my Male - who is a juvenile fish. The male in Annerly matches pretty well with the pics too. (particularly the banding in the tail which in masken is at the end only - not throughout).

Sarahw1 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 You are right the problem with any apistogramas are they are verry hard to ID at a young age. If you do have A sp masken and you do bread them let me know as i havent seen them in australia for ages... Either way you have some lovely fish.
