The fish does indeed look like C. aeneus sp venezuelanus, were they actually collected in Colombia or just exported along with C. melanotaenia from there?

The species C. venezulanus although regarded by many of us as a valid species until it is scientifically proven it remains a synonym of C. aeneus.
