Stopped my my LFS and saw a tank labeled "rare Blue Guianacara". Does anyone know which species of Guianacara this may be referring to? They were pretty small, roughly 3/4". I should have taken a pic. Thinking of going back and grabbing some.
Has anyone heard of Blue Guinacara?

Sometimes Guianacara owroewefi are referred to as "Blue Guianacara". If you happen to go back, I'd love to see a picture of them.
I went back and picked up 4, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Here are a few pics while they were acclimating. What kind do you think they are?
Awesome find, so glad you went back and grabbed them!
These guys are always a challenge to ID for me, especially when they're juveniles. If I had to guess the species though, I'd say Guianacara Stergiosi. To be certain, you'll probably have to wait until they get a bit bigger in order to ID properly.
There are a few individuals on here who are quite knowledgeable about this genus, so perhaps they can offer some better insight.
Either way, great pickup. Guianacara are a lot of fun to keep. A friend of mine has had a group of them for almost a decade now.

It does seem like they are extremely difficult to ID. I had decided a couple years ago that if I had a chance to pick some up I would. The guy who netted them at the LFS, mentioned this is the first time they ever stocked them. Thanks for the help, I will post pics as they grow for more ID help.
