I can't say I can offer much help- but the A. sp, Sao Gabriel the I am
keeping, have a "regani" body shape. The tail is rounded and the male has a
extended tip on his dorsal and anal fins (although I gather that this
feature is not diagnostic). Doesn't sound like the fish you have described
match at all- I hope I have helped.
