Is it possible to identify any of these( from Colombia)?

The local shop just got some Apistogrammas in from Colombia, there seem to be at least two different species. I might be completely off the mark but to me some could be iniridae, while others look similar to the hongsloi type that just a couple of came before. Most are small juveniles but a few are larger (ignore the orange ones from Asia). I have no room for more Apistogrammas myself, but it would be useful for the shop owner to know.

Besdies the A. cacatuoides I see at least 3 other species: one of them is A. iniridae, the others are an hoignei-subcomplex species and a brevis-group species (second to last photo). To ID the hoignei-subcomplex species might be very difficult without any information on catch location. For the brevis-group species it would be helpful to see a photo clearly showing the caudal spot and if possible the fully spread dorsal fin.
