Is it a trifasciata female ?

[Apisto ranch]

I had a buddie of mine give me some fish yesterday and he told me it was a Apisto panduro now I'm not the best at I D Apisto's But this isn't a Panduro.
I'm thanking young Ap. Trifasciata female. What do ya'll thank?

It is certainly not a pandura;
it does look like an Ap. Trifasciata to me,
and is also very likely to be a female. ^.^

I agree. It is A. trifasciata, but I think it is a very young male. The fourth dorsal spine looks like it is lengthening more than the others.

Hmm... Mike's observation is good: it could be a male...

On the other hand, its body shape and its short black legs
both make me feel that it could be a female. However, its
pale blue colour also tells us that it could be a male...

Anyhow, i would say that the chance is
60% female, 40% male

Maybe it's a young male, wait a month then you can see if he colours more yellow, then it's a female.
