Im joining this forum because I have 2 Apistos that need id'ing!

Ive narrowed the first picture down to A. sp "steel blue" but what about the other?

any help is appriciated!

Welcome to the forum! You are correct. The first 2 photos show A. sp. Steel-blue. The fish in the last photo appears to be a pertensis-group species, one of the forms of A. cf. pertensis.

Thanks, it does seem that way

they were both in a tank labelled Borelli, now im just hoping that they will get along, im sure the steel blue is a male, but what about the other?

they are both in a 125L planted tank

A. sp. Steel-blue has a reputation for being rather territorial. Pertensis-group species are pretty mellow. I doubt that you will have a problem in a 125 liter tank
