I have seen such "weird" black markings only in A. kullanderi so far. As what did you got them?

I was told they were kullanderi but have seen a few people online say they aren't the true kullanderi and that there is no true ones in the US

With some clear photos of the fish in different moods it shouldn't be too difficult to tell whether they are kullanderi or not.

I will try to get some more photos. Also they are still juvenile so probably won't show to much yet.

I got a few more pictures of him flaring up some in his new tank.

The male seems to show metallic-bluish lips which is something commonly seen in hoignei-related species but very rarely in forms of A. cf. eunotus. Can you please post some more photos of the smaller fish/female(?) too (if possible in different moods)?
