No way to accurately sex these guys. I had an 8" one that turned out to be female. How did I know? She laid eggs.

That seems to be the case. All the sources on the internet say males are more colorful and larger. I was saying male because of the color, but I guess that could be wrong.

How about venting? My fish 's vent tube is on an angle (not strait down). Does this mean male?

Angled could mean a juvenile or a female.

Here's the one I had that was female.
