Sexing Apistogramma Trifasciata

[Adrien93]

Hi,

I've bought a couple of Apistogramma Trifasciata in November 2015 but unfortunately the female died a month later. I bought a new one 2 days ago but I'm not sure if this fish is a female.

Can someone confirm her sex please ?



And this is a photo of the male:


Thank you for help

Looks like you have 2 males there. The top looks like a young male. Females never show the start of extended anterior dorsal spines like the top fish. I've not seen that much blue on the flanks of a female either.
