Anyone able to sex this Red Devil?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just moved the 4 JD to the 40g with a large pleco.
75g has :
Female jaguar - 7 inches
Black belt - 4.5 inch about
Flowerhorn 3 inch
Red devil - 1.5 inch
2 fire eels which stay out of the way.

the 5.5inch JD dominated that tank but he is now in his own tank. So right now from what i see the past 2 hours its the black belt but IMO the jaguar will soon takeover - it's only because she is very timid being new to this tank. I had her in the 40 gallon alone, but have only had her a total of a week now :/
 
Right now it's survival of the fittest, I did the best i could with the tanks I have and what I'd like to keep. My favorite overall fish is my 4.5-5inch Male JD so i moved him and the other JD and pleco to the 40g.
In the 75g the only two who go at it have been the black belt and the flowerhorn.
The jaguar is soooo timid, has been even in the 40g alone. And the red devil keeps to himself
 
Your tank will be over stocked pretty soon. Both of them will be.
 
ehh ehh , 2 JD's will come out of the 40g, only have all 4 right now in order to fins a suitable female. The black belt and red devil will come out of the 75g .
 
look at the vent side on, if its pointy and hooking forward its male, if its rounded and pointing down its a female. i can sex midas at 1.5 inch using this method. ive grown out 4-5 batches of midas fry now, admittedly some refuse to show the sexual organs till a little larger but this is by far your best chance at this size. its easier if you have a few to compare to each other... try to get a very close side on shot of the vent and post it here.
