I don't want to disillusion you, but your "A. cruzi" are not the true (holotype species) of A. cruzi. You can compare your fish with those collected in the middle Rio Mazan by TomC: https://www.tomc.no/fish.aspx?fishIndexID=2287&gruppeID=1.

Honestly I'm not surprised and I did have my doubts. The caudal extensions seemed especially odd to me. If you have an idea of the actual species or a more appropriate name (A. cf. cruzi?) please share - unfortunately we did not get a collection location.

I've had to correct a lot of IDs in the store like A. macmasteri sold to us as A. atahualpa and the classic Steel Blue sold as borelli. Only a matter of time till one slipped past me
