Hi there,

The name Apistogramma sp. Galaxis has been used in the past for Ap. sp. Papagei, I would assume that 'Galaxis' and 'Galaxy' are meant to be the same.

Looking at you pictures, I'm not sure they are Papagei (or Pebas), look more like one of the Apistogramma eunotus variants to me??

It doesn't look like a typical eunotus form to me. I really can't say what it is from just this photo. It could be A. sp. Papagei, sp. Pebas, sp. Putumayo. Based on what I see now, they look like A. sp. Putumayo, but I could be wrong.
