You were told they were from Colombia. Once when I was in Peru I saw a tank full of Zebra Plecos (L46) that I was told were "from Peru". I guess you could compare them with similar looking iniridae-group species from Colombia and see if any are the same.

@Mike Wise it is true that they told me that it was from Colombia, it would be interesting if this fish were matched with fish from the iniridae-group species from Colombia, maybe there we can find the correct id.

My experience with uaupesi-like species is that a 100% positive ID is possible only if I know the river in which they were collected and/or I had enough preserved specimens to compare meristically with the scientific descriptions. If you look at the List on TomC's site (http://www.tomc.no/page.aspx?pageid=127) I see at least 8 different forms that might be your fish.

I was reviewing the ones in the group but unfortunately none of them looks alike and some don't have photos.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
