There aren't any, and using the worms patterns as a manner of sexing Severums is a huge farce

Eggs are all gone, none hatched, tank is calm. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

It's far from a definite way of sexing them. Males usually have extended dorsal and anal fins, and obviously a different shaped vent/tube.

Until they're quite large they're generally hard to sex.
