Male or Female GT?

[Soco]

Hey everyone

I have had this GT for about 3 months now (about 4 months old according to the breeder). I know that they are extremely difficult to sex at this age but I thought I would ask and see if anyone would be able to help me out with this.

Im sorry about the glare, this tank does get a lot of natural sunlight and this little bugger is so hyper active that he/she is like the worlds most difficult fish to take a picture of haha, but I tried to get as many different angles of the fish as I could.

Thanking you all in advance for taking the time to have a look

Male

Thank you I originally thought male as well because of his extended dorsal fin (points towards the end). I also read that males usually have an orange band on their tail as well as an orange stripe on the dorsal fin where females have more of a yellowish colour to it and thats what threw me as his colouration is yellow.

Now I'm wondering if what i read was true lol

Ok now another question haha (Sorry this is my first GT)

I have him in a 65 gallon tank, at the moment I have him in there with, 1 Juwel Cichlid, 1 Yellow Lab and 1 13 inch pleco.

They all seem to get along just fine, the GT is starting to take over (well trying to at least lol) pretty large sections of the tank.

Do you think that they will be ok with each other as they have all (besides the pleco) grown up together since they were about 3-6 weeks old? I have heard and read that they should be ok as they will know one another, but I would value all opinions

I just want to make sure that I am doing right by the fish and their needs

I think you're on the money with this, the fins say male; colours say female, at least on the edging, but that could well be due to the young age.

I'm gonna say 70% chance its male
