Apistogramma Elizabethae from holland

[Erhan Gursoy]

Hello, i'm Erhan from holland. Yesterday I buy a apistogramma elizabethae female. The size of the fish is 2,5 cm. Can somebody tell me if it is a female? Sorry for the bad pictures.

Extra information: my apistogramma elizabethae male I bought a year ago is hunting on this fish. The male fish is much more bigger, I think 5/6 cm.

It is too young/small for me to accurately sex. Maybe in a month or 2?

Now it's 5 weeks later and it's still difficult for me to sex this nice fish. I've read a lot about apistogramma elizabethae but I don't know if it's also now too early to say something about the sex of this fish. Now it's looking like a female.

I agree, it looks like a female to me, too.

I think it's more likely to be female.Females generally have two black spots on the lateral band and it looks more black than the male pelvic fins.
