I got this guy about a week ago. He was the only apisto I've seen other than agazzis in the LFSs. It's only about an inch and a half and mostly blue. There is some red/orange in the tail and in pictures some yellow shows up on the cheek. I am new to apistos and would like to figure out what this guy is.
here a few photos

Yes, Apistogrammoides pucallpaensis, you can clearly see the inverted T on the caudal peduncle.

You and TomC are correct. You only have to look at the large number of anal fin spines to see that it is not an Apistogramma. It's a nice little male, too. Hopefully you can find a female for him.

I have a couple and they are a true dwarf. They are peaceful yet can hold their own. Good looking guy you have.
