Help sex my Amphilophus Amarillos

[bbradtmiller]

Hello, I have 2 Amarillos and I was hopping someone might be able to help me sex them. The large one I belive is female and the new smaller one that I just got I was told was male.

Anybody??

Kinda tough to call it on the new one, pretty small still. Larger one has classic female body shape from what I can see though

Are you sure they are amarillos?

The larger one almost looked to be starting to peel orange in one of the shots

My largest Male Amarillo is about 4 to 5 inches and is trying to mate with my female devil. I know she is female because she had fry from another devil. My Amarillo has a large nuctal hump already. He loves to fight my larger Umbies but as you can see he gets shredded up, lol, but that doesn't deter him. I don't know if all males get the head hump? I think he is in breeding dress in the pic's. Has some red going on in the head.
Maybe both of yours are females? or wait till they pair up and then you will easily be able to tell.
Nice fish you have there!! I love the personality of these guys.
