I just got my first “pair” of apistos. They were sold as an “Ortegai Pebas Pair.” Calling them a pair is probably generous since at least one of them is still very juvenile. However they’re going in a community tank so I’m not concerned about breeding at the moment.
I would like to get an idea of if they are actually Ortegai Pebas and whether they are male and female though.
The first 2 images are of the same fish (the color change over different substrates is really amazing), about 1.5 inches. The third image is of the juvenile (probably too young to really tell) about .75 inches.
Also, since this is a community tank (60 gallons) that I’m not planning on breeding in, am I okay to get another pair of a different complex? I was leaning towards Agassizii double reds.
