What Apistogramma is this?

[assikvere]

This Apistogramma was sold to me as Apistogramma iniridae, but I am sure it is not. Could you help me to find out, what kind of Apistogramma it is.

Female:

Thank you!

It definitely is not A. iniridae. It looks like A. cf. caetei Rotwangen/Red-cheeks, but I will need better photos to be certain.

Thanks, I´ll try to make a better photo and to put it up here. But it is not easy

Here are some new photos. I hope they help.

Your fish have all the characteristics of a caetei-complex species. Although I have never seen orange margins on any of the species within the complex, it probably is due to the food they eat. Colors are not important for identification, however. The pattern of markings all point to A. cf. caetei (Rotwangen/Red-cheeks).
