Fish arrive from Peru as Apistogramma rubrolineta, please confirm.
Dominant male, he is very careful.

These photos show several fish, right? The 1st 2 photos are probably A. rubrolineata, but are not good enough for a 100% ID. The 3rd photo is a resticulosa-complex and might be A. rubrolineata (or another species like A. cf. resticulosa Madre de Dios). The 4th photo is a eunotus-complex species. Not positive about the female in the 5th photo, probably a eunotus-complex species.

Yes, three different males, probably the largest. The female from 5th photo adores the male from 1st and 2nd photo ??, any suggestions ;),
I will take pictures of other females and smaller males, this maybe help in identification, I have more than 50 of them, I have to sort them.

I agree with Mike. The first two males look very similar to my rubrolineata and the third similar enough. The female is very interesting with bold bars and pink/orange belly. Unlike any I've seen and definitely not a rubrolineata female. Odd that she is oggling the rubro males but I hope she ends up being of the same species as the 4th male.

Thanks guys, males from 4th photo have elongated third ray in the caudal fin, I have a male with an elongated ray at the bottom of the tail too.
Probably it is cf. eunotus orangetail.

Females rubrolineata ?

The 1st photo appears to be a commbrae-complex species (narrow lateral band + double caudal patch). It looks like you have a merry-mix of species from different locations.
