My local fish store finally got some apistos in, Agassizii double reds. I’ve always wanted some for my planted tank and wanted to get a pair. They had 2 that were clearly paired off an obvious male and female. They were able to scoop the female but the male hid, they tried to find him again and grabbed what they thought was a male. I brought them home and they both are showing female colors I thought it was just stress but 2 weeks later still showing the same colors. Can you confirm if I have 2 females here?
Fish 1 is the obvious female very round body and fins, solid black line under the eye and on pec fins.
Fish 2 there is 3 pictures to help, slight point on the dorsal fin but not pronounced, faint to no black line behind the eye but has black lines on pec fins, also has slightly more red color but not showing the male coloration pattern like the one I saw in the store.
