Bucco M/F?

[1234fish]

I am trying to avoid venting although this site has helped me do so with some other fish. In your opinion is this buccochromis rhodasheii a male of female. It is about 5-6inches if I had to guess.
Thanks for any opinions.

James99 thanks for the reply. I guess the rounded anal fin was throwing me for a loop. I know that doesnt guarantee but in all my years it almost always is pointy. Thanks again

I'd have to agree, male. The blue face & the abundance of egg spots are consistant with male traits. Maybe the anal fin will elongate as he matures.
