ID please

[AmirA]

I would like to know what species these guys are. I don't even know if these are male or female. And I don't know if they both are the same species.
The only information I have is that the are wildcaught and have spawned twice. But I don't know if the eggs were hatched. These are at least 1 year old but not older than 2 years.
Thanks

Oh. Sorry for the double post I'm new here.

The less yellow one I'm gonna guess might be A. hongsloi - not sure on sex. The yellower one is certainly female, but might be a different species.

The photos are not good enough for species identification, but they do appear to be from the hongsloi-complex.

Thanks guys for your help I will post more pictures when they arrive in a couple of days!

 

[AmirA]

Hope these pictures are better.

These look much like the holotype form of A. hongsloi to me. Life colors of the type material, according to the original description, show no red color at all.

 

[AmirA]

Okay. Can you say if they are male or female, Mike?

 

[Mike Wise]

Looks like a pair to me.

 

[AmirA]

I will take your opinion as facts, Mike Good enough for me.
How about these two? Upper one male A.Hongsloi and lower one female A.Hongsloi?

 

[Mike Wise]

Yes, another pair.

Many thanks
I'm new on apistos. I'm about to buy my first apistos soon. What do you think about the individualls on the pictures that I have shown? Do they look good or bad?

 

[Mike Wise]

Heath-wise, they look OK to me. Color-wise, they aren't the most colorful strain/population available.

Thanks for your answer Mike
