Apistogramma panduro-ID confirmation

[Colby Dixon]

Hey folks,

The Cichlidbase project needs your help! While Alex Calder is working on version 3.0 (Blog) we are attempting to positively ID and validate suspected ID's of many of our Cichlid photographs. Juan has graciously agreed to let us use this Forum's Expertise in verifying our photos. Any and all help is appreciated. All photos by Alex Calder.

Thank You,
Colby Dixon and the entire Cichlidbase team.

It is a very old male A. panduro. Not the slightly elongated and serrated anterior dorsal spines. This is a feature of A. panduro males. A. nijsseni males have an even, non-serrated anterior dorsal.
