ID please

Friend of mine just acquired our LFS. Found these little guys in a tank with some German blue rams, gold rams, and some bettas.

He isnt sure if they came in on his order from today or if he got them with the store. I picked them up and Im trying to get an id on them.

Any ideas?

And yes I know the tank is horribly dirty in this last shot:

Some sort of Apisto. I'm no good on dwarfs.

Thats what I was thinking since they were in a tank with rams. I got 3 of them. They are pretty little fellows.

Look like apisto sp. 'blue steel' ... a very suspected hybrid apisto ...

Apistogramma borellii blue . They are great little fish But 2 males will fight best kept in pairs. They stay near the bottom and hide in plants. They also like caves. They only get 2-3"
