Imo the shape of the caudal spot points towards A. sp. Rocafuerte but without seeing the abdominal markings one can't be 100% sure. Please show some more pictures in which the abdominal markings can be seen clearly. Do you know the exact catch location?

Thanks for the reply. I don't know the location of where they come from. The place I bought them from said he ordered Apisto alto tapiche, but received these instead.
I've posted a few more pics below (first one is of the female). I apologize for my poor pic quality.

Unfortunately the abdominal markings still can't be seen clearly, but what I see makes me quite confident that it's A. sp. Rocafuerte.

Interesting and lovely fish. It’s very like cacatuoides to me without the zig zag pattern.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
