You know everyone says this, the dorsals and anal fins on my female are longer and more pointed then my males fins. Hell her fins stream out a good 3/4 of an inch past her tail.

no true look at my pic on the first page. she has long dorsal fins.
 
I just had a male and female (male at 1.5 inches and female at 1 inch) spawn in my 55g tank. I also had 2 males and 2 females in my 55 (before I had my current stocking list) and the alpha male spawned with the alpha female and the sub alpha female. I had the just add water cons. give it some time and they will mate and have **** ton of babies!
 
give them some time, if you in fact have a male and female, then they will certainly make babies, trust me :D IMO these fish are the easiest to successfully breed. fins i feel have nothing to do with sexing these species. both sexes can have very nice finage, and awesome coloration. males however lacking the "orange belly" can be just as colorful in blue fins or throats. i wish you the best of luck on your pair, usually just add water and the do their thing :D
 
i have had a male and female con together for a month in a 75gallon community ca/sa tank and they already had one batch of fry three weeks ago(the fry is in my 20gallon now) i took the fry out about five days ago and i already have some babys that just hatched yesterday. they are still sitting in the gravel wriggling.
maybe get a couple more cons and your will have more than you will ever need.

I think people underestimate how much cons will breed...because I surely did. Cons once took over my 55 gallon tank, and I had to eventually take all of them out and donate to my LFS.
