It is to know, if afterwards I would have more to say apistogramma mendezi "barcelos" or notWould it make a difference if it was not? If I was trying to get Mendezi, the collection location would be no priority, I'd be happy to get the species at all.
That said, comparing with the fish from Tom's Homepage the dorsal seems to have too much yellow/orange. Also the picture above looks like a stock foto....
thank you for your information mikeBarcelos is only a trade name describing the export station for where it was originally shipped. Your fish appears to be A. mendezi (Orange) - A 222. As far as I know, no one has reported a collecting location for this population.

Unfortunately not when it comes to Apistos. And what is worse, they don‘t listen to you when you try to help them with their wrong IDs.They have 99% correct IDs. Top notch.
