Cubans are less sensitive than haitiensus, although if you check some of the collection data , temps are also up there, especially for ramsdeni. A collecting article some years back for ramsdeni had temps in the 90s.
Here are a couple of Nuths Cubans in my tank.
and a couple pics of my female hait from this morning
By the way, I claim no expert status, though I went trough 15 haits before getting the pair I have now.
Lots of bloatage and death, until I reread all the collection data I could get my hands on and raised the temp.
An article by Alf Stallsberg called "Haiti, Oh Island i the Sun", and from an article by Paul Loiselle from an old Buntbarsche bulletin convinced me temp is the key, along with the obvious water quailty requirements.
I now try to make a water change of at least 20% every other day on the hait tank(s), and have a high vegetable content in their diet.
The little guy in some of your pics looks to have a fairly blotch free dorsal, give it a little while to mature.
