They look more like young Bolivian Rams or German Rams than Apisto's, hard to see properly from the picture on my phone - but any Apisto fry I've seen don't have that body shape.
That'd be a nice surprise. My lfs raised them from eggs and says they are not rams but some smaller cichlid. The lfs does not have the parents nor have they seen them.
