About
This Apistogramma cf. caucatoides form originates from a distinct Peruvian collecting locality and differs subtly from the nominal species in fin shape and body markings. Males still develop impressive dorsal fin extensions reminiscent of cockatoo feathers, though the details set it apart for taxonomists and collectors alike.
