Are my Apistogrammas a pair?

I bought a 'pair' of apistogramma cacatuoides from my LFS 2 weeks back. I'm curious if I have a pair or if I have a sneaker male.

They coexist pretty well, but the big male can be a bit aggressive when I feed towards the 'girl'.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Bachelor tanks can work for Apistos. One tip to get around this that I use is to feed with a turkey baster, make sure the dominant male is good and busy, then feed the other male in a separate part of the tank, out of sightlines from the first one.

 

Oh before I hit submit, those are definitely 2 male cacutouides triple reds.
