Since A. cacatuoides has such a wide range in the wild, from Pucallpa, Peru in the west to Manaus, Brazil in the east, it has many different color morphs. No one that I know about has ever mapped color morphs with distribution.

Thanks Mike,

Pic1 & pic3 shows the same apisto.
Is it possible that pic1 & pic5 are A. juruensis or A. sp. Black-chin?

No, I don't think so. Both the Black-chin & A. juruensis have a caudal spot that is well separated from the lateral band. These fish do not show this feature.
