I agree with "bourdinite":

-The body is deep.
-The dorsal fin of the male is high, with pointed but not very elongated spine membranes.
-The caudal fin is orange, and has one pointed tip (D5).
-The operculum (gill cover) has an area with blue iridescent color.
-The male has an orange/red colored area at the insertion of the pectoral fins.
-The Bar 6 is split.

All this point to Apistogramma cf. eunotus.

The last photo shows a split in the lower half of the 6th vertical bar. This is very diagnostic of eunotus-subcomplex species. I agree with with Lukasz and Tom - A. cf. eunotus (Orangeschwanz/Orange-tail).

The photo is an excellent picture of this fish. If it is OK with you, I want to convert it to a black and white line-drawing for a presentation that I am making.
