excuse me for the bad pictures, you will propably not be able to identify them by the pictures but just give it a try.
a friend of mine bought them as panduro, which they obviously are not.
I was thinking norberti but that was just a wild throw.
however these pictures show two females and propably the same species.
there is no male.

I think that your "wild throw" is right on target! It looks like A. norberti to me, too. The soft part of the dorsal fin should have a dark "smudge" on it. This, however, is better seen on males.

thanks Mike, sometimes I suprise myself.
first guess was somewhere in the cacatuoides group, the head was to well built for it so I came up with the nijsseni, then the choice was simple

now the search for a suiting male is going to start.
