I upgraded my a. sp winkefleck aquarium from a 29 to a 90; and alas that left me a spare 29. So..... I moved it downstairs complete with stand and decided to order some a. Sp D39; in the process i found a decent piece of drift wood in the closet so here we go for start:
The fishes in the aquarium are young mesonauta egregius. It will be 2 to 4 weeks before it is warm enough for the D39 to be shipped as they are being sent from a very cold area of the midwest.
This is some information about D39 which was found about 7 years ago:
The above link talks about a different species which includes D37 (which i would like); but in the middle you will find this paragraph:
"Besides some specimens of A. sp. ‘Kiemenfleck’, another new Apistogramma species has been found here. It has been named A. sp. ‘Alto Vaupés I’ (D39) and seems to be very closely related to A. personata KULLANDER, 1980. In contrast to the ‘Kiemenfleck’-Apistogramma which have exclusively been found here during the rain period, A. sp. ‘Alto Vaupés I’ have also been collected during the dry period. Besides the Apistogramma, species of the genera Carnegiella EIGENMANN, 1909, Hoplias GILL, 1903, Otocinclus COPE, 1871 and Corydoras LACÉPÈDE, 1803 have been collected in this place too, as well as some not further identified tetra and knifefish species."
D39 is in the bevis group which is in the trifasciata lineage. It is also a warm water fish near the equator so 78-80 range.
This leaves two species i would like a. lineata and D37 indria but that is for another day.
