Hello.

I am new to Apistos and this forum, and wonder if anyone can help me determine whether my Cockatoo Apistos are male and female? My LFS sold them as male and female, but I want to be sure I'm not stuck with two males. The first image is of the male and the remaining three are of the supposed female. Please review the attached images and let me know your thoughts. Thanks and I look forward to learning and participating!

Hi all,
I can't tell with the second fish, sneaker male would be my guess, but I've got a very poor record with gender and ID.

Your tank is a bit different from the standard Apistogramma set-up. Have you seen <"Dwarf Cichlid Aquarium">? The web site is well worth a read.

cheers Darrel
