Authors Wolfgang Staeck and Ingo Schindler have assigned this  taxon  to  Apistogramma sororcula , hailing from the drainage of the the Rio Guaporé in Bolivia and Brazil.

Aquascaping in progress

Part of the extensive Arowana competition at Aquarama

By Michael Tuccinardi

First days of a large event like Aquarama 2016, held in  Guangzhou, China, are always a bit hectic, and this year's show - now in a new location - was no exception. Although I had hundreds of photos by the end of Day One, Day Two of the show offered the chance to be a bit more slow and deliberate, taking in the details easily missed earlier. In particular, I was able to focus on the entries of the various competitions being held, especially now that the holding tanks had had the chance to settle for another day and those that had been cloudy (a frustrating, if often inevitable part of any live fish competition) were largely clear.
