These were both sold to me as loisellei. They are constantly brawling and want little to do with one another. I am somewhat suspect of the male being loisellei. Please any input is helpful.

I hope you're right. It's just that he looks kinda like a freddy to me. He's more slender. Do they get deeper bodied with age or is it somewhat variable? Oh and I deeply apologize for the fuzzy pics. The male is quite shy and hard to photograph.
I would agree with Jeff.
Its loisellei.

The shape of his head and body is more bullet shaped and the markings on his face, all indicative of Louie. Freddy's at that size would have more black blotches close to the eye with a forehead being predominant. But either way nice fish and looking forward to updates!

Shape of the head is what makes me say freddy all my loise's had shorter more rounded face and higher bodys. Their colors look a lil washed like they are stressed so maybe when the settle more he can get some better pics. My male had a shorter head and seemed more round than the OPs fish.

freedys and motas tend to have a longer face and longer less rounded body. But we all know how close of a call it is with young parachromis.
