I heard that its hard if not impossible to sex them while young.. but the method is the sames as arowanas... males have bigger and wider mouths than females.

Males are suppose to be more colourful then female and I aggree with the method that redtailfool state earlier in that "males have bigger and wider mouths than females".

Males are suppose to be more colourful and they grow faster than females, in my opinion!
