Scientific Name: Apistogramma agassizii Fire Gold

Origin: The lectotype originates from Lake Manacapurú in Amazonas state, northwestern Brazil, just upstream from the city of Manaus and fed by the main Amazon river channel. The remainder of the type series was collected variously from the municipality of Codajás (Amazonas state), Curupira, near Barcelos municipality (Amazonas), Lake Maximo near Parintins city (Amazonas), and the rio Poti, a tributary of the rio Parnaíba (Piauí state). It is currently accepted to range throughout much of the Amazon/Solimões basin from its upper section in the Río Ucayali, Peru, and into Brazil with the Capim River, a tributary of the rio Guamá, which flows into the rio Pará at the city of Belém in the Amazon delta region, representing its eastern limit. Body coloration and patterning can vary considerably with locality. The Fire Gold strain, however, is an aquarium-bred strain and is not found in the wild.
