Apistogramma sp. "Rotpunkt"

[_BaDgUy_]

I got 4 of these Apistogramma a few months ago in an auction, and they were quite young. I thought they were all females!

Now, zoom forward to today.. I look in the tank, and notice at least one has a blue hue to the mouth!

Here are my questions :

Only the males have the blue mouth?
Any other species of Apistogramma exhibit this?
What about the agressivity level of these fish?

Also, the male I seem to have has alot of red coloring on the fins. Is this normal, as the pictures I found on the internet do not show this as extensively as the male I have.

Thanks,
David

_BaDgUy_,

Only the males have the blue mouth?

Probably, but not impossible.

Any other species of Apistogramma exhibit this?

Yes, it would be helpful to see a pic of this fish.

What about the agressivity level of these fish?

They can be a little feisty, but not too bad. They are one of the easiest apistos to breed, if they are rotpunct.
