sexing Hypselecara Temporalis

[SuperLeo]

hi all

Could anybody here help me showing any Hypselecara Temporalis adult photos (male and female) to help me to determinate if I have two males or two females.
I need to compare becase I can obtain a "sure male" but I'm not sure what sex are my two Temporalis, I only sure they're not a pair and I think they are more close to be two males than to be two females

I will be thankful if somebody has a good pair of photos

Thanks

I've no photos but my females had a good hump like the non dominant males. The size in different and the females are smaller. Have you got a photo of yours?

Hi Ribstick,
Would you happen to know the location of where your fish were collected or are they captive bred??

Hi Ribstick,

Thet are both captive bred and thety are from different origin.

The fish I have seen exported from Peru have yellow on them. Your fish appear to be mostly red, so I was wondering where they were from.

Colors and markings in H. temporalis tend to be quite variable depending on geographical origin. Me too I would like to know what geographical variatiojn of H. tmporalis shows more red like mine.
