I bought what I was told was a male a. Nijsseni months ago to try out another species. Another shop that deals in lots of apistogramma had some so I asked for a female and I bought it. I put it in a tank with the male and a male Agassizii (who had their own territories set up) but I wasn't convinced she was a female. She was about half the size of the male and she instantly hid. I didn't see her for days but eventually, she came out but was always chased away by both males. My intention was to transfer both of them to a new tank to try breeding them, but so far I haven't. The new fish has gotten larger and now "she" chases the Agassizii male around. The two Nijsseni are mildly aggressive to one another now, but get on ok. I think they are both males, but I'm not sure. I have since seen some more in yet another shop and the male there is very blue and a lot darker than mone. There is another in the tank with him that looks like mine (more yellow). So I wondered if mine might both be female. I've read that females shouldn't have blue. Does that mean none at all? Neither has been as dark as the blue one I saw. I thought from reading that two makes would kill one another.
The first, more colourful image is the older and the other 3 are of the one I bought as a female.
Thanks
