I have to say that your rather poor photos show a blue morph of A. borellii. The present-day "Opal" are A. borellii with red markings on the face and yellow on some of the body and fins. The original Opal (lost to the hobby) had green as well as red, blue and yellow.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
