The male in first set of photos is one of the many forms of A. agassizii. It looks unusual because it has such a pale caudal fin pattern. Some of the 'females' in the 2nd set might be male A. bitaeniata, but the photos aren't distinct enough for positive identification.

Re to post

Thanks Mike after looking at my DATZ book I now see that they are agassizi The top left pic on pg 106 A234 A.cf.agassizi looks a lot like what I have. I think what through me off so much was the tail it wasn't as lanceolate as most agassizi and its coloring was not as vivid. I guess $4.99 ea was a good deal for the 7 I aquired. I will try and get better pics of the females.
