Is this Apistogramma Melgar?

[Silvana]

Hello,
I bought 2 pairs of Ap. Melgar ( thats what they said in the shop)- wild fishes from Peru and I am not sure if it is this species?

Maybe someone can help as I have babies from one couple and I am not sure what is it

The male looks like A. sp. Nanay/Melgar. The female probably is, too, but the caudal spot doesn't look typical for the species. The intense black markings seem to have spread beyond the typical small square shape, typical for the caudal spot on A. sp. Nanay/Melgar. Do you have any photos of the female that aren't in brood dress, but in a neutral mood?

This is my Melgar if it helps.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
I don't have neutral photos because few days after buying them they start reproduction- before that she was grey, and now she still takes care of babies and she is still so yellow with this black shape.
