Help with female apistogramma?!

[gex18]

My local fish suppliuer has a dunce working there who has put all the male and female apistos together in one tiny tank (and is selling them for £5 PER PAIR), while i can tell the difference between males, how do you sex female apistos between species? I think the apistos in the tank are: -

1) Apistogramma Cacatuoides gold/yellow variety
2) Apistogramma bitaenta
3) Apistograma Trifascatium
4) Apistogramma agassizi

If any1 could post pics of the different females or tell me how to differentiate it would be greatly appreciated!

P.s are they compatible with ram cichlids?

the aggies should have a spade shaped tail differnent to the other species

the cc's may have spoting on the tail and , not sure this is 100% , mine have 2 stripes on the belly ventral to the lateral line and not running the whole body length

not sure about the other 2 although my trifasciata did have a blue tinge to her and looked ery similar to a sub dominat male tri
