    id request - a. gibbiceps or something else (?cf uaupesi) ?

    Mostly gut feeling supported by the shape of the head and body and the narrow lateral band. If your fish show abdominal markings or horizontal caudal pattern or a downwards widened suborbital stripe as in the following picture, you can be 100% sure:

    id request - a. gibbiceps or something else (?cf uaupesi) ?

    They are gibbiceps, at least the last one is a male.

    It's for sure a regani-group species, but the regani-group is quite large! However, based on the distinct pale area between lateral band and caudal spot, it can likely be narrowed down to a regani-complex species. Unfortunately, I can't tell which one, especially if it's in fact from the Rio...

    Misidentified as elizabethae

    Given the abdominal markings my guess would be A. sp. Blutkehl/Cutthroat.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda

    It was believed to be A. uaupesi before it's scientific description. A. uaupesi has several common names, see here. However, whether the above fish are in fact flabellicauda is impossible to tell without seeing the caudal pattern of the male and without knowing the catch location.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda

    Yes at 5cm a male would look very different.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda

    If the EC is about 150uS/cm (or lower) it should be no problem.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda

    Females do show a very pronounced lateral spot when in spawning/brooding mood, but then it's easy to identify them as females anyway ;) Other than this, I'm not aware that females do show a lateral spot more often than males do. What is the size of the first fish?

    It can be A. cf. sp. D24 from Rio Manacacias but it can also be A. sp. Manacacias. Let it color up fully and then show some more pictures if possible in different moods.

    WC Apistogramma sp. "Ipiranga" from Brazil

    No, they belong to the barlowi-complex within the atahualpa-group.

    First apistos! What do I have here??

    Your "agassizii Tefe" male is either A. sp. Tefe or one of the A. sp. aff. agassizii (Netz/net) forms, better pictures are needed to be sure. Your mystery fish is a male A. trifasciata.

    Btw here you find some information about this species.

    "Uaupesi" ID

    They look like A. sp. Kiemenfleck/Gill-spot (D37). There are two known locations of them in the Rio Vaupes. This is the only reason I see why someone might come up with the crazy idea to call them "A. uaupesi".

    Anyone heard of Apistogramma cf. uapesi "Jufari" ?

    "Rotkeil" is just one of the a common names of A. uaupesi. Here are pictures (by Miguel) of A. cf. uaupesi that are said to be from Rio Jufari: They shown a different caudal pattern than the typical A. uaupesi is supposed to do.

    Species ID

    Your male can be Ladislao or Ladislao II or Ladislao III - which one I can't tell for sure without knowing the catch location. Whether the female is the same species I can't tell for sure either. But if they are from the same import or breeder, I wouldn't worry too much.
