    Cac Orange Flash dorsal

    certainly looks male but the lack of extended dorsal fin rays could be down to a few things like he was a sub dominant male out of a large group as there is often only one dominant male, or due to poor breeding (too much inbreeding)

    Could someone i.d these Apisto's

    well u already have one female gold cac in with him but often the czech bred golds are quite weak if u breed them together so breeding a gold with a red strengthens the youngs genetics and arnt so sensitive which is what i have been doing and slowly getting there on improving them
