Very nice. I'm still trying to learn how to differentiate their sex. How can you tell this one is female?

picked them up locally.

There are head and fin shape differences that you can use as a guide line, when easiest to see when the male and female are side by side.

The link below is a post that I describe it in detail for aurantimaculata, Color's change but the the same general guidelines on shape and build seem to be applicable for most of the sub-tropical species.

Hope that helps!
