Hi guys. I recently bought another apistogramma to go with my male. I asked for a female but I’m not sure it’s a female I was given. It’s the one on the left. Is it a male or female?

Cheers

yeah, the female shape is different and it is already big enough and still does not have male shaped fins...

Cheers guys. I wasn’t sure because she’s quite a decent size compared to my other female and the male keeps chasing her every time she goes near. He doesn’t do this with the other smaller female. Is this anything to worry about?
