A.cruzi or not....

[blurami4]

Hello to all.
Here I have a friend who keeps an Apistogramma species and we do not agree on the species in question. Him they were sold under the appellation A.cruzi but I have doubts about the case, for me it would be more A.sp.putumayo.

Here are some pictures to help identify this species.
Thank you to you

Same fish but not the same photograph

Definitely not the true (holotype) A. cruzi. It looks more like A. sp. Putumayo (similar body shape and caudal spot). There are several closely related forms out there to Putumayo, but they are so far away for commercial collection sites that it's unlikely that it is one of these.

Thank you very much Mike
For me as it looked more like the sp.putumayo.
According to the seller, who sold the couple originally my friend, it would be a wild pair collected by Tom C. but I have doubts about these claims.
In any case it remains a beautiful morph of putumayo
I could post more photos later....
