Apistogramma commbrae - male or female ?

[FIL]

Hello,
In your opinion, I have two males or two females ?

Thank you

Nicolas

How old? How large are these fish?

I don't know but they measure 4 à 5 cm (1.96")

4-5cm (total length, includes caudal fin) means that they are still young. If males, their fins are not fully developed. 4-5cm (standard length, excludes caudal fin) means that they are mature. Males will have more pointed tips on the dorsal and anal fins. The cross-stripes on the caudal fin are more prominent on males.

Maybe too obvious but at breeding time females turn yellow, males I have collected (besides pointed fins) tend to be more colorful in the face and lightly purple in the fins but that can be a location related feature. Where did you get these from?

Sorry the edition, but photos 2 and 3 are in my opinion 99% sure females. Photo n° 1 looks like male...
