Pulled from http://wetpetz.com/bolivram.htm

There is little sexual dimorphism when young. Male M. altispinosa are slimmer and less stocky than females and also have extensions on the upper and inner rays of the dorsal and caudal fins. Another difference is the dorsal on the males is more pointed and elongated. They are more difficult to sex than their close relative Mikrogeophagus ramirezi
