I believe that your fish are a form of A. cf. eunotus. The name 'Spaltenfleck/Split-spot' was given to a group of wild A. cf. eunotus that appeared in a shipment from Peru. These fish showed an odd caudal spot that is split into an upper and lower half by a narrow pale area. This is a descriptive name. We really don't know where it is found in the wild - or if the feature breeds true in all offspring. I cannot say if your fish are offspring from this shipment. I suggest you wait until the fish mature and see if the males develop the split spot.

Thanks a lot Mike.

I' ll wait and i send new photo if the double spot no appears.
For you, they do well parties of Eunotus complex ?

Just, i think who they are maybe eunotus Schwanzstreifen Tail-stripes (rio huallaga).
Possible or no ?

Yes, your fish seem to be part of the eunotus-subcomplex. They look very much like the form of A. cf. eunotus (Schwanzsteifen/Tail-stripes) from around Tarapoto (Río Huallaga system). I cannot say for certain that it is the exact same population.
