Lack of color for what strain? Did you just get the fish?

Yeah got 3 of these yesterday from someone on facebook. No clue they just called them apistogramma cacatuoides yellow.

Sounds about right. They are probably confused due to there are more colorful cacas like this guy.

This is the smallest of the 3. My luck its probably a male also. The male you just identified is all puffed up and his eyes are jet black staring out the tank. He was tail slapping the other one earlier..

The second pic looks like a female. The best way to tell for me is there tale shape and mouths. The males have a huge mouth and there tails typically are not rounded.

Cool. The male really does have a big mouth compared to the 2nd one. Well heres to hoping it is a female. I searched alot of places to find these and had no luck. Then finally found these 3 on facebook that some lady didnt want anymore. I just had never seen them plain yellow like that.

I appreciate you taking the time to look at them. Thanks
