ID Help: Are these a male/female pair of Apisto Hongsloi?

[Shawn]

A fish breeder ended operations recently and basically did a garage sale of fish and equipment.

I found some stressed apistos of various species that are all mixed in a tank and bought what I thought was a pair of hongslois. The fish were stressed out and never kept them before so hoping for some ID help hoping that I brought home the only hongsloi pair left behind.

Is this a hongsloi female?

And is this a hongsloi male?

And both of them together for better comparison.

They are a pair of A. macmasteri. Not A. hongsloi.

Sorry, you've been sold the wrong fish.

It's fine. It was a garage sale and it was up to the buyer figure things out.
They were literally $5 each so I am not complaining.
