I cannot say for certain. The photos are too fuzzy. How large are the fish? Can we see better photos?

Sorry about the pics. My camera sucks. The fish in the photo is about 1.5 inches long. I do know that they were imported as agassizi from Manaus. Also the was some Apisto hippolytae in with them. And some others that look like young Pertensis. I am thinking A. gephyra.

From your description, i am inclined to say that the one on the left is Gephyra as Gephyra used to be included in the imports with pertensis and hippolytae... do you have better pictures? ^.^

I tend to agree with blueblue, but without a clear picture of the caudal fin pattern it is impossible to say which species you have. Both A. gephyra & A. agassizii are found with A. hippolytae & A. pertensis/A. cf. pertensis.

what is the main differance in Agassizi and Gephyra? Looks like I have two kinds in there.

Thanks!

The most distinguishable difference comes from the caudal fin:
Compared to aggie, gephyra's caudal fin has is a dotted
pattern and is "rounder" than aggie's.

Check some of my previous posts. I have described characteristics that distinguish the 2 species on at least 2 occasions.
