Hi Koono... Welcome.. Seems to me, you got a healthy male & female..
Btw are you keeping both pairs together? How big is your tank?
Try provide more cover add in more ferns or nanas..!
Cheers,
Ben

Hi i think the third pic for the top looks like a female caca instead of a agassizii
Anyone else care to comment? or maybe you have a better picture to show for female, cause the males are easy to spot, but not the females.

Hi, I am keeping 2 male and female in a 2 ft tank. I know it would be better to have more spaces. Ok! Will try to add in more ferns or nanas.

Thanks!

Ok, will try to take a few more clear shot on the female coz they are always hiding. Hope it a Agassizii instead.

I second that its a female Ap. cacatuoides. Where did you purchase them from? You may want to bring the female back to exchange for the correct species.

Your setup is good. There are caves and plants for them to hide in. Is that ADA amazonia? Its good if it is because I recommend ADA brands of soil for apisto keeping for their pH properties.

Hi gurus! I tried taking both females. Do let me know if they are A.caca. If so, think got to take back and exchange liao...

2nd pic is A.Caca rite?

Aiya... Like that I need to set up another tank and get another male A.Caca to house them....Or shld I take back to the shop and exchange another female Ap. Aggassizii? No wonder the male Agassizii keep chasing the female A.Caca..

HAHA i was right! No wonder it look so weird, i think you can get a male for the female, cacas are not that expensive and they are easy to keep also, but you'll need another tank.

Yup was thinking of setting up another tank and get a male Ap. Caca for companionship. Will post pic of it after setting up.
Cheers!

I have the same feeling. Saw some pattern or rather markings on the dorsal
