Etymology: Apistogramma: Greek, apisto = uncertain + Greek, gramma = graphic signal (Ref. 45335);  feconat: The new species occurs in the tributaries of the upper and middle Rio Tigre. It is named for the Federation of the Native Communities of the Tigre (FECONAT ) for its struggle to protect the environment of the tribal lands of the local native people from the impact of modern society. A noun in apposition..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 15 - 17; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6-7; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7; Vertebrae: 24. Apistogramma feconat can be diagnosed by the following characters: moderately high-backed, laterally compressed, and moderately elongate; distinct sexual dimorphism and dichromatism. It differs from all other known congeners on the basis of a combination of the following characters: fairly large yellow to orange head and metallic blue or pinkish body in adult males; overall grey slightly hypertrophied lips; bluish or pinkish dorsal fin with slightly prolonged serrated membranes, tips yellowish; large rhombic caudal spot; rounded caudal fin with bright orange to red submarginal and black marginal band; large lateral spot about half body height in females; broad cheek stripe, nape spot, and pectoral spot; small chin spot; squarish throat spot, clearly separated from broad mid-ventral stripe extending onto anal-fin margin (Ref. 104987).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Appears to be restricted to small clear- or blackwater forest streams with bottom substrate usually red or yellow latosol (Ref. 104987).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00838 - 0.04534), b=2.99 (2.81 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
