cruzi......or something else?

[miquel]

hello, monday i came by this fish in my lfs, they sold it as cruzi but i have some doubts about that. so can anyone please tell me wat it is. these pic are taken about a hour or two after releasing them in a tank, while i prepare a tank just for them.

my second question is if the fish on the right in the third and fourth picture is a female, i couldn't say for 100% in the lfs because al the caudal, dorsal and anal fins where dammaged by biting

There probably are more than 1 species in the group:
The large fish in photo #1, #2, #3 (left), #4 (center) & #5 (center) might be A. sp. Putumayo or even A. sp. Pebas. Most of the dark markings, which are the diagnostic features, are not visible. The fish in the middle of photo #3 & right in #4 might be A. sp. Angle-patch/Winkelfleck. None are the true A. cruzi. I think you need to wait for the fish to get comfortable in their new home & then send more photos.

so this fish can't be the female that belongs to this male,tommorow i'll tease them a little with a mirror for beter pics

Probably not. It doesn't have much black on the ventral fins. Better photos will definitely help.
