Hi Guy

It's an Aphyolebias peruensis. I saw the fish nice young fish.
What kind of strain it is, I cannot tell you, I have Santa Anna and they are quite similiar.

Guy and Jakob, welcome to the forum.

The peruensis is a very majestic killie and I did try to have it established locally but failed miserably. Together with another SG keeper, both of us didn't manage to get the next generation going.

For one, their incubation period is a terrible test on one's patience... all 20 weeks' worth of anxiety, even when the storage temp is around 29ºC. Still have some peat but possiblity is, I'm incubating blanks. Last known status of the adults is zero survivors but at least I did get some half-decent pics of the adults (mine were without population codes but looks very similar to the 'Yarina Cocha').

I'll be blunt. If anyone is having good prolific spawns, I'd like to have a second attempt with them after I cut back on extra tanks. I'm sure we can work something out, so good luck and many thanks in advance.

Side note:
Jian Yang, I think it's time to 'downgrade' the peruensis to 'EX' status
