top one is male and the bottom one is female
I recently acquired two A. baenschi "Inca" and in the shop I did my best to ensure that I selected a pair. I was wondering if any of you could confirm that I chose correctly!
Also, is this definitely "Inca"? They were labelled as "Apistogramma Inka" in the shop, but it's a shop that generally sells sick and dying fish to people who either don't know any better or who should know better than to shop there. I only gave in and bought these two because they'd not been in the shop long and looked healthy enough to justify the risk.
Proposed male (larger, yellow crescent on caudal fin, dorsal fin extensions, blueish scales on flank)
Proposed female (smaller, caudal blotches, first 3 dorsal rays black)
Have I got this right?
I look forward to hearing your opinions.

I'm so glad you agree with me! Anyone else of the same opinion?
It looks like a pair to me.. However, the male have a yellow have a yellow crescent rather than tthe more striking red one. As long you like the fish, who cares whether its red or yellow. As long it is healthy right? Try to lower the ph to see their development.
the pair looks like a young inka to me. Do as what joopsg suggest. Try bring the PH down for them.

From looks of it, think you've got a pair.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
Yes, the yellow crescent on the caudal fin is making me think they might not be "Inca". But if not what else would they be?
A. nijsseni?
Any breed from the Nijsenni complex. But rest assured that your female should be Baeschi. The male will take some time to develop under low pH condition then can tell what is it.
Well they're from the same batch of fish, so fingers crossed for a match.
I'll start altering the pH slowly and I guess in time we'll find out how stunning he's going to be!
if you can, beef him up with live feed.
I'll do my best!
