A. barlowi male or female?

I am going to say male, our male is below for reference. (Ours is wild caught too!)

This one appears to be on its way out as of this evening. Hanging around near the surface, then under leaves and not getting out of the big male's territory even when he tail flicks. It's hanging on its side a bit so don't reckon it'll be with us much longer. Managed to source some definite females though as of this evening so will see what happens.
 
It's croaked now! I do wonder if it was a young male and perhaps became stressed as the big male would chase it out of its territory all the time. If I can get a female in breeding colouration I reckon they'll be spawning before long.
