LAZER is about 4.5/5 inches

I would say it's female from how it looks. I'd take it out and vent it tho just to be 100% certain.

Thank You for your reply; i will try to vent does a female have 1 big and 1 small or is that males?

Several signs point to female. Black on dorsal fin, oval shape body, and and pointy head.

I second that she's a female. Really cool pinkish red colors!

The anus should be smaller then the vent if it's female. If it's male the vent will be about the same size or smaller then the vent. Here's a pic to show which hole is which lol.

Yeah venting is definitely the best way of sexing your FH. Without it ya might end up with a situation like mine. Thought that one of my 2 was male for the longest time just because of its kok size but nope turns out that he was a she all along, so her name became Big Bertha just due to her manly appearance. Lol here's a pic of her so ya can see how manly looking she is.

omgyea i see alright lol Big Bertha fits her that for sure. Its funny, i havent heard many people using the name Big Bertha bc my dad messes around with my step mom and callls her that when they playing around arguing lol not that shes manly looking lol my dad is italian and hes a shorty haha and my step mom im not sure what she is ive never asked her i should tho but shes alot taller then my dad so yea u just brought back memories [but good memories]

As for Lazer im so nervous to vent bc ive never done it ... i noticed i have 2 male cichlids in the tank and my male Carlisle, the green terror hangs by himself, and i have Velvet i believe is some sort of manguanese ill have to post pic, but he is male and he is steadily hangingout by Lazer. Im so lost ill post pics ofthe tank this evening.
