Like in people, color morphs are just color, they are the same species. Use whichever color you prefer - and expect variations in the offspring, just like in the wild.

I think Apitogramma Allpahuayo is look smarter than Cacatuoides the body is so strong and dorsal fin is very high.

Wild specimens of A. cacatuoides have as robust or even more robust bodies and the dorsal spines are just as high as on A. alpahuayo. Most hobbyist have only seen domestic color strains of A. cacatuoides. Sadly, body shape and finnage have been sacrificed for color.
