As in the previous post, I do not think your fish is C. acrensis, the snout is to long it is nearer to C. leopardus

This is C. acrensis

Are telling us that one is C. leopardus and two are C. acrensis

In my opinion none of them are either species.

C. acrensis does not have a pointed snout as your pictures show, the description states that it is longer in the snout than C. trilineatus, which it closely resembles and when you see the comparison figures the difference is small. in acrensis the snout goes into the head length 2.1 times and in trilineatus it is 2.4 times

C. leopardus is more or less a spotted species.
[quote]Myers 1933,
"Upper two thirds of body, the opercle, cheeks, snout and top of head covered with a close mottling of small distinct , blackish spots."

I think your fish are C131 a variable species coming from the Rio Tapiche in Peru.
