A.-sp.-"D10"-group

The taxonomy is still a bit unclear. A genetic analysis (in progress) might reveal it's relationships.

My Experience

Behave like any other Apistogramma in my tank.

Breeding

This is one of the up to now 5 (or 6) known facultative larvophile mouthbrooding Apistogramma species.
(The other 4 - 5 are A. barlowi (probably 3 genetically different species under this name), A. megastoma, A. sp. "D10", A. pantalone, and maybe A. atahualpa).
Facultative means that mouthbrooding occurs optionally in response to circumstances rather than by nature.
So sometimes you will see mouthbrooding, other times they breed like most others Apistogramma, without any mouthbrooding.
They have so far not shown any mouthbrooding in my tanks!
