I have a dovii...in another tank which has never shown the vertical line across the body.....instead has horizontal bars.....does that mean it is a female. ...will try and attach a pic

A poster on this site (forgive me; I do not remember his name) shared something which proved to be 100% accurate when checking online pictures of males and females; the males have dark spots in their unpaired fins. If you do a search of dovii pairs, you'll find this to be true every time. It was the tipping point in figuring out the sex of my male.

The presence of spots above the lateral stripe is helpful, but the spots int he fins show first.

Thanks very much for trying to help.
I read through quickly to first understand what does an unpaired fins mean.
I will look out closely and make my observation.
The issue that i am facing is whenever I face the aquarium from the front , with a camera in my hand , they know that i am upto no good and run and hide.
I need to device a method to stop looking like a fool...
