Actually, it is not A. agassizii. It is an undescribed, closely related species, often called A. sp. Tefé or A. cf. agassizii Tefé. It will cross with A. agassizii, but the offspring show deformed fins/scales, typical of hybrid apistos. Offspring from agassizii/Tefé crosses typically produce very few or no viable fry.
