Apisto-what species?

[seaecho]

I got this little guy today from an LFS out of a tank that was labeled "Assorted Apistos." I had a dorsigera about two years ago who died of an internal parasite. I really loved that fish. So when I saw the tank (at the same store I got my first one) I decided to give it a try again. Any way you can guess what species this young guy is, and any idea of the sex? He/she is all washed out from stress, of course. Thanks!

I think we will need better photos than these to recognize the species and sex of the fish.

He's hiding now, of course, being a new fish. I'll try again when he decides to come out. Thanks.

It appears to be most likely another dorsigera to these old eyes. As Mike said, better pics would be good. I believe that sexing would be a crapshoot at this tender age.

Thank you, Viejo! I was hoping it was a dorsigera. Here's another pic I got today. Maybe a LITTLE better? It is always on the move, so hard to get clear pictures.
