Wild Peru Apistogramma ID's

[Eddiekay1010]

Hi again, a friend just returned from a collection trip and brought back a couple groups of Apistos. I'll get more exact locations soon, but for the time being, I know he was days away from Iquitos, and I don't believe these two species were caught in the same location. The one we believe is A. barlowi, the second one, possibly A. marandu? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

The first one is a cacatuoides-group species, it can be A. (cf.) cacatuoides, A. sp. Rocafuerte or A. (cf.) luelingi. Please post some photos on which one can clearly see lateral band, caudal spot and abdominal markings. About the second fish I can't say much other than that it's likely a female. Please post some photos of it in non-stressed out mood. Of course the catch locations of both fish would be very helpful.
