Mystery female Apisto...need help with ID!

[fluffycharm]

She is about 1-1.5 inch long, 0.5 inch high, and caudal fin is rounded.
I saved her from a fish store because it was the last one and no one wanted her...lol

I'll take the first stab -- and don't trust what I say, wait for the experts...
but I'm going to guess that it is A. eunotus. Would be difficult to (me to) tell for sure without a companion male.

Thanks for the stab! any ideas are better than none

If it's possible, I'd recommend getting a head-on head-shot. The first photo the fish has a rather large jaw; but not sure because of possible image skewing.

I'll get one head on shot by tomorrow. Thanks!

It looks like one of the cruzi/Pebas-complex females, possibly one of the mixed species sold as "Algodon".

New pics...

These photos haven't changed my opinion except to say it's most likely one of the cruzi-subcomplex species. Being sold commerically, I'd bet it's A. sp. Putumayo (= Algodon I, usually).
