Pretty decent shot of a little 4.5-5" male cuban.

Nice color ... how do you know he is male.

Nice color ... how do you know he is male.

Body color pattern. The dark head with the lighter body is a male characteristic. Females tend to be darker with some barring. This is the only fry I raised from the pair I used to have. He will probably get sold at our next club auction.
