Freedy or a Loiselle

[vinod_uthaiah]

Experts ,
can you please help me figure out if the fish in the pic is a Freddy or a Loiselle.
Also if this one is a male or female.
I am trying to buy this one and want to be sure,

Thanks in advance
Vinod

Looks like a freddy to me, not sure about the sex though, at a guess I will give with male

I'm actually gonna guess loiselle, and female at that. But that's just my guess. I'm more sure on the female part then the loiselle part tho

I'm thinking La Ceiba Freddy male.

Does it have a bunch of small spots I'm missing? It's a blurry pic so maybe I'm just not seeing it. But the large blotches on the cheek and gills says female to me but I'm already outnumbered lol

 

[Lateralus86]

the pattern in the fins makes it look male to me. But I'm not very good at this and my Freddy's are young and much smaller than this fish. So I'm no expert.

Male freddy


Female Freddy



Also look at the fins, the male's are significantly more pointed then the females.

What are the distinct give aways between a Freedy and a Loiselle

 

[lunsforj]

Loiselli tend to have a "grey worming" patterned area that usually starts at the forehead and extends back through the dorsal area of the body.

Loisellie is also a thicker bodied fish.

Here is my old male loisellie.
