Jan, Apistogramma sp. Breitbinden appears to have a wide distribution pattern. It was originally found in the upper Rio Negro. Now it is also known to come from some right bank tributaries of the middle Rio Orinoco around Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela. The form from there was introduced by Linke & Staeck (1997) as A. sp. Caņo Morrocoy. It is now believed to come from areas in between these two locations, but this is not certain. See my discussion of 06 November 1998 about A. sp. "four stripes" for water water values around Puerto Ayacucho. Water conditions needed for A. sp. Caņo Morrocoy are the same as those of A. sp. Vierstreifen/Puerto Ayacucho.
