What breed is this,this pairs was offer $120 at other web site.Anyone had picture to show?
Interesting. Haven't seen the Apistogramma sp "Galaxis" before. The more senior collectors? Anyone seen it before in town?
From Cichlid Atlas II, it is of similar form of A.regani.
Did a search on the net.
Seems like A.sp "Galaxis" was also known as A.sp "Algodon". So it seems confusing. ANyone has other information?

It is sold by lawrence in PetFrd forum....no pictures of it, i suspect it just one fancy trade name given to an Ap. Sp.

Googled picture of A. sp. "galaxy", last fish right at the bottom of page.
http://www.cichlidnewsmagazine.com/i.../whatsnew.html
Mike Wise said that A. sp. "galaxy" is also sold as "Algodon 1", "Galaxis", and "Nanay". They are actually referring to A. sp. Papageien/Parrot.

However, there don't seem to be any pictures of A. sp. "galaxis" II although the name is appearing in lists of some suppliers.
The colouration from the picture doesn't really look like the A.sp "Algodon" I or II. Hmmm...Originally Posted by Quixotic
If it is really a A.sp "Papagei" or A.sp "Algodon" or A.sp "Masken" or whatever, then the price doesn't seem to justify unless a picture shows otherwise.
My 1.5cents worth.
Valice,what do you meant by the price dont justify,too cheap or expensive.
Anyway the seller has put it up for sales a few time before,the last time he had 2 pairs,now reduce to 1.
When A.sp "Algodon" I and A.sp "Masken" was in town last year, the price of a pair will be half of what he asked for. So you decide.
But if it is indeed a new species, then it is a willing-buyer and willing-seller transaction.
Try to get a picture of the pair if you are interested on getting.

Yes, need a picture to know what exactly is A. sp. "galaxies" II. There isn't much information around.
Here's a picture of an Ap. Sp. Algodon. Hope it helps.

Or can ask wks to show his pair of A.sp 'Algodon'.
Biotope's one still got some tinge of yellow here and there IIRC. Beautiful indeed. A pity no female.
Hi,
From this website, www.apisto.com, A. sp. Algodon I other names is A. sp. Papagei/Parrot and A. sp. Algodon II other names is A. sp. Putumayo.
And from www.mtfb.com, the picture of A. Sp. Papagei is attached which looks like viejita.
