Hello all. My LFS in Green Bay WI obtained some apistogramma from Peru which I am interested in but want to ensure I am clear as to what they are selling. I have attached a few photos. Thank you for your thoughts as to the species. These are relatively large for apistos the first photographed fish is over 3 inches to my eyeball guess. There are some that they say are same species but almost twice as large and not in these photos.

i'm no way near a master in id'ing but my guess would be a. paulmuelleri, like the sign says.
mostly based on the first picture.
maybe some more knowledgeable members will chime in.

Thank you. I decided not purchase these particular fish. I have a few macmasteri where I have been waiting patiently for a male to color up and emerge from to possibly pair with an existing adult female... so slow that I have been eyeballing possible replacements :)
