Can someone tell me What apistogramma is this please

[ponitboss]

Also can you tell me is my apistogramma cacatuoides and macmasteri are pair? Suppose to be three pairs of macmasteri and 1 pair of apistogramma cacatuoides

I have seen this species before, but before I mix up anything, I tag @Frank Hättich and @Mike Wise

You have at least a male, but the other fish looks too immature to sex.

Those are of the same 2 fish in all pictures? if so, you might indeed have a male and a female there.

It looks like an A. (cf.) cacatuoides form.

Third pic with two fish in another tank

Very likely 2 males, unless the left fish is really yellow. The light in the foto keeps me guessing.

Can i breed it with a different cacatuoides? One of my triple red females jumped out. But I have a female to the (cf.) Cacatuoides. So I want to put the (cf) female with triple red male. Also what does cf mean?

Oh ok I was thinking so to but not sure

I wouldn't do so.

Also what does cf mean?

It has no precisely defined meaning but it is usually used in the sense of "similar but possibly/probably a different species".

Well the place you purchase them from should know - if they are wild caught then you shouldn't mix them but if they are domestic yea any old fish will do.
