The dorsal fin doesnt look big enough for the C3 also the black banding isnt very prominant across the eyes. I would suggest young axelrodi, they are quite variable in colouration anyway. Loxozonas juveniles are a possibility also, how big are they and do you have any idea of their origin?

C.03 for sure but yound still will develop the tall dorsal fin as they mature, but only in the males.

Yes, I'd agree with C003, young C. axelrodi don't look anything like this (none of the C. axelrodi forms have this speckled pigmentation) and you can "see" the features in C003 about to spring through as the fish mature.

probably Colombia... but that's not a big point: both C. axelrodi and C003 are from Colombia...
