Pretty sure I saw a egg tube dropping from "her". Also looks like a lil black is coming back like my red texas did durring the fading process?

How rare is a short body fader like this? Havent seen many? What do you think this fish would be worth?

Not very common but not very pricey either, no more than $30-40 aquabid price. I would say yours is probably a female but I could be wrong. Here is my male fader.

Will a male keep his tube out or do females normally do this?

 

[Chrisplosion]

I have seen males keep theirs out more than females.

Nice looking SB. I bought one that looks similar without knowing it was an SB. Bought it as a firemouth for $2 because the employees were clueless.

Great pick up for $2!

Here is an update. Starting to think she is a he?
