Male or female Vieja?

[sujay313]

Hi all, could you please help me determining if this is a male or female vieja?

Disclaimer; no expert venting CA/SA cichlids, but, given the similar sized holes & triangulated shape of the vent I would call it as male.
Vent pics are the most accurate way to tell, but a clear lateral pic can be helpful also. Can you post a pic of it in the tank also?

This is my male which I had for an year. I got the other one last week assuming it was a female, but I feel it may have been a male too. The big male constantly keeps picking on him/her. I plan to return it.

Thanks for the pics mate. 100% male. His weiner is clearly visible in both pics

Thanks Kevin. Just curious, how were you able to identify it as a female?
