Hello fellow experts,

I have a pair of *Apistogramma steindachneri*—originating from the Czech Republic—that I purchased as a male and a female. The one I believed to be the male was severely harassed by the female, so I separated them. I am sharing the photos I managed to take of the one I think is the female. Could you tell me if this fish is indeed a female and if it is an *A. steindachneri*? Best regards...

The fish looks like steindachneri, but from these pictures I can't tell you anything about it's sex. Please show some clear pictures of the fish in side-view (if possible with all fins spread) and tell us it's size.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
