ID apistogramma agasizii

[Maree]

Hi! I am new here and with dwarf ciclids. I was given 3 apistogramma agasizii wild a month ago. 2 survived from a guess an intestinal parasite. They live in a 32 gallons tank with boraras brigittae, amano shrimps and a clown pleco.

I wander if the fisrt one is a male or a female. They are not getting along very well. I took some advices here and it's better now but not perfect. What is anyway but back to our business... The orange colored one beats up the other one. There is plenty of hiding spots and the dominated one (wich is a female i am pretty sure) seems ok despite of some bruises. Is it possible that the orange one is a female with is mating color even is there no male in the tank? Is it normal that she chase the other fish?

Some pics:

Both are females, it would help a lot if you could get shots of a male. They look like agassizis to me but I am far from an expert at this.

both look female to me. But I'm no expert.

I agree; 2 females. The brighter yellow fish probably is the dominant female. Females can be even more aggressive than males.

Thanks all for the reply. I need to get a male then. Wonder where i am going to find a single wild agassizi male here in Montréal??? Is it ok to breed a wild female with an ordinary male or is it à waste?
