Can someone please help identify correctly what’s wrong with my apistogramma cacatouides pair.
Until a couple of days ago, this guy (along with a female Apisto) was perfectly fine. Both were in fact starting to show breeding/mating behavior and the female was coloring into a bright yellow.

I got them from a LFS recently as a breeding pair. The bigger one appears to be a male but after learning about ‘sneaker males’, I’m wondering especially if the smaller apisto (with dull colors) is a...
