Just wondering, what's the smallest Apistogramma sp. and how large do they get?

Thanks.

Apistogramma cacatuoides is relatively small, but most of them are around the same size.

Apistogramma borellii are 6.5 and 5 cm for males and females respectively.

Apistogramma cacatuoides are 7.5 and 5 cm.

Borellii males are smaller than male cacatuoides. Cacatuoides females are one of the smallest cichlids. Under an inch for most of them, but then again, aren't all the females smallish?
