Most Sexually Dimorphic Species

[Azedenkae]

Hey guys, just wondering in your experience/to your knowledge/in your opinion what is most sexually dimorphic species? Specifically:

1.) Where the male is drab and the female is awesome.
2.) Where the male is awesome and the female is drab.
3.) Where they're just different. Might be both awesome or not, but just different.

What do you guys reckon?

Umbee is a species where the male has brilliant blues and the females dont show much color in comparison.

Nicaraguense is highly dimorphic as male and female look like different species. Female is much more colorful than the male with intense green, blue and orange red. Male is pretty drab with less intense green and no red. I used to keep a female Nic with my all male Haplochormis. The Nic look like another Haplochromine cichlid and she even attempted to mate with my male Hap and laid unfertilized eggs.
