Agassizii Female?

Hi just want some help confirming that a fish I have is an agassizii female, mainly because three quarters of the apisto's we get here in brisbane are incorrectly named (probably just being paranoid), I also know that females can be somewhat difficult to ID species wise, but any help would be good.

I can take other pics needed.

Edit in - PS what size do they start breeding at? My male in the background is quite a bit larger, she would be a bit under 1.5" TL

The picture is a bit too fuzzy to be sure. It looks like the fish has 1 or 2 abdominal stripes, which are not commonly seen on A. agassizii. More & clearer photos will help.
