Hi everyone I’m thinking it’s a male but so far I’m getting mixed answers what y’all think ?
Is my flowerhorn male or female ?

Looks like a male to me. Vent looks to be roughly the same size as the anus is, along with the papilla being long and pointed. Looks to be a shortbodied red dragon if I'm not mistaken.
Aww well that sucks. I'm kind of in the same place atm. I got 2 females but need to find myself a male for em. Only problem is is in order to breed em both I would need a male that's almost fully grown since the biggest of my 2 girls is already pushing 9in.
Hey bro it’s a female they’ve been together all day no signs of aggression, my big male tubed also dropped is there a way I can post a vid to show y’all I’m pumped.
Ya have to upload a video to YouTube first and then copy and paste the URL to here. I know, kind of a round about way of doing it but that's how it's done.
Wouldn't quite say they are paired atm they are more or less just respecting eachother for now. Usually you will see the female acting a bit aggressive with the male she wants to pair with, chasing him and nipping him and sometimes lip locking, it may seem like aggressive behavior but it's all to test the male to see if he will be aggressive enough to protect their eggs/fry from any intruder.
So far from what I'm seeing with these 2 is that they are just getting along with eachother and not really doing any courtship behaviour atm.
