Apistogramma commbrae/inconspicua/linkei complex id

[dpien]

Hi all, I recently bred a wild caught pair of what at first appeared to be A. commbrae. The partially double caudal spot was at once apparent. They came into the UK as contaminants of an A. borelli shipment.
On closer investigation, it appears that this could be A. inconspicua (Bolivia, A 96, p. 52 in the Datz book). Or is it A. similis? There are vertical rows of spots in the tail, as can be seen from the pictures of the male on my photobucket page:

Any comments and help with this ID would be much appreciated.

Based on the not in focus photos, it looks like A. commbrae to me; distinctly patterned caudal fin (A. commbrae & A. similis); 15 dorsal spines (A. commbrae & A. inconspicua); lateral band that reaches Bar 7 (A. commbrae & A. linkei). Too slender to be A. linkei.

Thanks Mike! I thought that A. inconspicua (and not A. commbrae) have the distinctly patterned caudal fins (with vertical rows of spots throughout), which is what confused me..
