This is not A. uaupesi! Please notice that it has a lateral band & a separate caudal spot. It is a fish closely related to A. velifera/4-stripes. This fish is A. sp. Putzer/Cleaner! - a very rare & lucky find.

Is A. sp Rotkeil the same as Uaupesi?

Lamlam's looks like Rotkeil to my un-trained eye.

Yes, it's the same.

Rolo

P.S. Lamlam: you should't put the signature in your pictures on this place. It could cover relevant areas to identify. e.g. to separate your A. uaupesi from A. sp. Blutkehl.

I understand why LamLam put his name over his photos of A. uaupesi (Rotkeil/Red-wedge). There are too many people pirating photos without permission. I agree with Rolo, too. Putting your name on the flanks of the fish can hide important features that are useful for identifying a fish. Probably the best place to put your name - if you want to protect your photo - is to put it on the head of the fish, through the upper part of the eye.
