in a certain mood both genders can have black on dorsal.
You gotta know the difference between the males smaller black and the female's bigger black.

I'm certainly no expert, but I have to agree. I've seen one of mine (hoping male) have just a hint of black, barely noticeable but when in certain moods or being challenged go black. There are a few pictures that might help you out on the thread titled "Green Texas".
but I am.
Only for the fish I like
Can't argue with that! I think everyone has their expertise in something... I'm still trying to wrap my head around this world.
you look at the blue on their gill plates/cheeks. Females get the smeared electric blue spangles and males have less blue annd sharper blue spanlges. It is one of the ways to tell in green terror also
