Don't look like a juvenile, hence don't think it will morph anymore. So its a female for me. Rounded tail, short dorsal membrane, short anal fin and short ventral fins tell me she is a very beautiful female.
I had the below sold to me as the female of a pair. Do you guys think this is a female? Thanks.

Thanks Eugene for the confirmation.
Now I will need to start looking for a male as the male had passed away.

Need help again on the other Apistogramma elizabethae I have. This is the wild elizabethae from the NKS batch.

Looks female at first glance. However, it may be too early to tell due to the age. Female apisto will also puff up their gills and attain the reddish pigmentation on their fins when flaring.
