9 inch argentea vent

[PhelansFish]

hey! i have this 9 inch argentea i could have sworn is a male but looks like its pairing off with my bifasciatus. here is a vent, im leaning towards female based of vent. any ideas?

wont breed them as my big bifasciatus is older and shooting blanks lol

Looks like a female based off of the vent.

To me the more dark color markings and relatively short fin trailers look female,
compared to the confirmed male in the pic below.

Is it the most dominant cichlid in the tank?
