I've got same problem w/ some dwarf pikes. Bought them as wallacei, but my girlfriend seems to think they are reganis.
If you want to either shoot me some pics of the female with dorsal extended in pm, or post them up for ID in the pike section ... I'll let you know. There are 3-4 different species coming out of Colombia labed as wallacei (wallacii is the correct spelling), and the males all look pretty much identical. Regani have white around the female ocelli though, with no red. There aren't any regani from Colombia, but I've seen Orinico dwarves listed as cf. regani Inirida before.

Will do, working crazy hours the next few days, but I will get the little lady on the pics. She has the camera skills, lol.

I think they are the orinoco dwarves myself. Wetspot is selling them as wallacii, but I don't believe they are. If you can get a shot with the dorsal fin up, it would help alot.
