Apistogramma ‘Rio Negro’?

[Katie13]

My LFS sells Apistos marked as Apistogramma Rio Negro/Apistogramma Spp. What is the ID/scientific name for this species? I want to say Hippolytae, but I dont have enough experience with Apistos to say anything for certain.

Yes, it looks like A. hippolytae from these photos - and it is found in the Rio Negro, among other rivers.
