Confirmation of ID, please!

[P.W.]

These fishes have been identified, first as paucisquamis (wrong of course) and later as Pulchra. What do you think guys, is Pulchra correct? I´m not so sure about that.

you would be correct on the second guess... they are pulchra! beautiful ones too!

 

[P.W.]

Yes, they must be Pulchra! I was "googling around" and I found identical fishes as the ones I linked to.
I had in mind that Pulchra = Ap. sp. Wilhelmi. But that doesn´t seem to be the case. I was wrong.

Per, these look like the form originally collected from the type locality (Rio Preto do Candeias) by Marco Lacerda in the late 1990s. A. sp. Abacaxis/Wilhelmi is a different species. Compare where the lateral band ends in each species.
