The size and pigmentation of the spots and stripes respectively correlate to proactivity within this cichlid. Darker stripes in males and smaller spots in females are characteristic of more proactive Amatitlania siquia.[4]

In 2019, scientists have shown that members of this monogamous species of fish develop a pessimist attitude when their partner is absent.[5]
