I'm going to throw out an educated guess and say A. eunotus "orangeschwanz". I think the juvenile, younger, cruzi normally show a more pronounced and defined horizontal bar near the lateral line. Looks like a very nice specimen.
Yes, I agree with you. However, according to the mood of the fish, there are several horizontal bars that appear. It must be that I take a picture when that the fish shows these lines.
Yes, Brian (slimbolen99) is correct. It is A. cf. eunotus "Orangeschwanz/Orange-tail". There are several populations(?)/varieties of this form. Some show some minor spots in the caudal, others do not. Some show distinct abdominal stripes below the lateral band, other only weakly. The dark markings (split Bar 6, dark opercula, oval caudal spot that covers 2/3 of the caudal peduncle height) on all varieties are, more or less, the same.
