Apistogramma agassizi "Super Red" (this one's called double red, but i think it's the same as super red, if not it will at least give you an idea) - http://www.mtfb.com/SouthernApistos/RedAggie71005.jpg

Apistogramma baenschi "Inka 50" - http://www.mtfb.com/SouthernApistos/incaNEWname.jpg

Pictures from Southern Apisto are correct, but the trouble is the pictures they take are in their stocking tanks, hardly the fish at their best.

Below are what the apistos are in full glory.

Apistogramma bitaeniata "Shushupe yellow" looks very much like this:

One day i will have fish like this....I live in Perth and there are hardly any Apistos over here...no one seems interested in keeping them. Admittadly the wate rove rhere is VERY hard so they are a challenge, If I save up my pennies I might try and import some over here but they are often all gone by the time I get my rear end into gear

Currently I have: Blue rams, Bolivian Rams, A.veijta, A.cacatoides, A.agassizi and A.nissenji
