I've seen them sold in the UK - one wholesaler is selling them as 
Apistogramma agassizi 'Laser Blue' (and boy was I annoyed finding them after 
driving 70 miles to pick up a pair of 'laser blue' aggies)

They look like they have a fair amount of Borelli Opal in them but are much 
shallower in the body and have a 'long fin' gene.  They are either a hybrid 
or are very very inbred.  Like many people have reported, I've also never 
seen any females - but then I wouldn't want to propogate them anyway.
