I recently acquired two A. baenschi "Inca" and in the shop I did my best to ensure that I selected a pair. I was wondering if any of you could confirm that I chose correctly!
Also, is this definitely "Inca"? They were labelled as "Apistogramma Inka" in the shop, but it's a shop that generally sells sick and dying fish to people who either don't know any better or who should know better than to shop there. I only gave in and bought these two because they'd not been in the shop long and looked healthy enough to justify the risk.
Proposed male (larger, yellow crescent on caudal fin, dorsal fin extensions, blueish scales on flank)

Proposed female (smaller, caudal blotches, first 3 dorsal rays black)

Have I got this right?
I look forward to hearing your opinions.
