hmm... doesn't look like a borelli. Looks like two males though. I would seperate the two, most apisto males will fight.

It could be steel blue tough, don't quote me though.

Rafael,

You have A. sp. Steel-blue/New Blue/Blaukopf/Blue-head. All are names for the same fish that is probably a hybrid between 2 apisto species. It is very unlikely that you will find a female for this fish. They are beautiful fish; enjoy them for what they are - ornamental fish.
