Purchased as A. macmasteri..Confirm and sex please?

[aarhud]

I'm terrible with the whole IDing thing. Let me know if you need better or different pictures. I purchased these as A. macmasteri, imported from Columbia. I tried to pick out a male and female, but the tank did not have a light so it was difficult to see. The guy was nice enough to throw in a third for free. I feel like I picked out three females


Fish one









Fish two








Fish three

They all appear to be members of the macmasteri-complex. If sold as macs, then it's a very good possibility that they are. The fish are very young, so sexing is problematical. Give them another month or 2 and they should be easily sexable.

Thank you very much Mike.

At this stage they all resemble females but as Mike said, hard to give a definite answer until they grow a bit more.
