Hello..
Last Week, a new pair of Apistogramma panduro came to my tank from trofical fish shop.
But, I'm not sure this is a female of Api. panduro, because when I search online the Panduro female looks more yellow and quite different from the male.
Now, the male in my tank is aggressive to the female.

What do you think about the sex of this image of Panduro?
I wonder there are some tip to relieve male's aggression.

Most likely a female. The wide/bold black margins on the ventral fins (paired bottom fins) are usually a pretty good indicator of sex. Females have a lot of black on those fins and males have very little.

I think it is a female nijsseni. Picture of the male would help. Males are easier to tell apart.
