It definitely is not A. atahualpa! Your fish have no lateral spot, which A. atahualpa has. Fish of the regani-lineage (regani-, macmasteri-, & Rotpunkt-groups) lack a lateral spot. Your fish looks like a highly colorful (body) A. cf. eunotus (Orange-tail/Orangeschwanz).

It is also an A. cf. eunotus (Orange-tail/Orangeschwanz)?

Thanks in advance,

Rafael.

Based on the yellow pectoral fins, square caudal spot, and abdominal stripes, I believe this is A. sp. Nanay. Very colorful specimens with red/orange abdomens have been sold as Bleeding Heart in the past.
