I bought of the exporter as Apistogramma elisabethae (Içana river), but instead I received this species.
It would A. uaupesi or A. sp. "Putzer"?

I can't say for sure because the lateral band & separate caudal spot (if any) don't really show. They are still young, so it is hard to say what they will turn out to be. All I can say for certain is that they are a steindachneri-lineage species, either velifera-complex or iniridae-group.

Hi,

For me, i am not sure, i don't think that is sp. "Putzer" because the first dorsal spine is not separate and not uaupesi, the caudal is different and less jagged. it look like to A161 but as say Mike, without marks on the body, it's very difficult to identify it.
