I got a pair of borelli from my lfs but my female looks a bit different. I also noticed that they had some hongsloi mixed in with some of their other species as well so now I’ having doubts if this is indeed a borellii female.

Looks like A.Borelli female to me. With my fish, the Hongsloi females all have a larger black spot at the base of the caudal than the Borelli's. However, I'm currently trying to sex about 60 Borellii juveniles I'm growing on and slowly going mad in the process, so hopefully someone with more expertise than me will be along to help definitively Id your fish! And if anyone reading is in UK and wants some Borelli, drop me a msg!

Ade.
