Laetacara

[madzarembski]

Hi all
I purchased a couple of Laetacara from a local hobbyist who purchased them as wild caught Laetacara Curviceps Cachoeira. Most I have shown my guys to seem to think they are Laetacara sp Buckelkopf. Here is one-

What do you think? Could they be Buckelkopf from Cachoeira area? Or are they what we were told they are? Or are they something else?
Thanks for the feedback.

The bend in the lateral band into a diagonal cheek band is diagnostic for L. sp. Buckelkopf. I can´t say where they came from. Cachoeira is just a name for a series of river rapids.

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate the information. Are there any articles you are aware of that you can direct me about them?
