F Fruju Feeder Fish MFK Member Mar 5, 2011 21 14 3 New Zealand Dec 6, 2017 #8 I think the degree of colouration on the side of the GT is a good indicator of sex. Head profile steeper on males as well.

kiwiraka Exodon MFK Member Jul 20, 2017 77 69 21 26 Dec 6, 2017 #9 Shouldn't it have more of a "bearding" colouration though? I see the features you mean, but in regards to the head shape wouldn't a young male exhibit a more feminine head shape anyway?
