are you sure they are all from Peru?
Yes.


Apistogramma #1 was sold to me as A. atahualpa, but I am sure it is not.
May be A. eunotos?

Apistogramma #2 was sold to me as A. sp. "Blue Eyes" .
It's look like A. Agassizii / A. Gephyra to me too , but I am not sure.

1. I do not think it is A. atahualpa (A. sp. Sunset)...
it looks so different to me...

2. Blue-eyes? ... it's a very new name to me...

If the fish are from Peru (and I am certain that they are) then the fish in #1 are A. sp. Masken/Masked

There appears to be 2 different species in #2: the top 3 photos show young males of A. bitaeniata; the bottom 3 fish are young A. agassizii (the top 2 are young males, the bottom 1 is probably a female). These 2 species commonly are shipped together.

I thought so , but I was misled by the color of the fish in pictures 4 and 5. I have never seen such color in A. sp. "Masken".
