Its a male Apistogramma trifasciata

[Cacatuoides]

Hey eugene, very nice collection of apistos you have......care to list your current collection?
I like the male, especially the yellow face!!

[valice]

Agree... Female's dorsal wouldn't be so high...
I believe it is the one of the few species whose ventral fin is black also...

I like the frontal confrontation picture! So very typical of dwarf cichlid behaviour.

Oh...I also think that it's a mail. Female specimens doe have have an extended front dorsal rays.

Cheers,

Hi there, you have got a "male"

[genes]

Thanks for the correction guys. Suspected so because of the reddness in the finnage colouration it showed when flaring. Especially the tail. I'll introduce a female to see how it goes then.
