Sexing and species of apisto

gephyra is possible, but it doesn't get exported as often. There used to be a thing misidentified as gibbiceps that looked like that too. The blue was lighter, and I don't know what it actually was. Agas come in a bewildering variety of colour forms, so identification without background info is sometimes hard.
Gibbiceps has a different tail fin shape, which doesn't match what Chopstick has. They just came out and I managed to grab better images.

Chopstick does love causing chaos and confusion.

I agree about gibbiceps, but that's why I said it was misidentified. Things come into the trade under wrong names sometimes. Look at the kribensis, which is Pelvicachromis pulcher, while P. kribensis is a different fish. Old screw ups complicate things.
