That's what was called sp. black chin and is now A. allpahuay. It's a cacatuoides complex fish and can be readily identified by the yellow and black markings in the ventral (bottom paired fins). It is often (almost always) exported out of Peru as juruense , which is not!

I agree with the above (nice fish BTW!). On another note, I highly doubt that you have A. cruzi. This fish is not collected commercially and is very rarely seen in the hobby.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
