they're Stanoperca, not Geophagus. from what i've heard and seen with mine is there is no way to sex them visually besides venting
If the Satanoperca in your avatar and photo album are the fish in question, they are Satanoperca leucosticta, and I have bred that species.Loves severums said:

Darker coloration, increased aggression associated with a specific object like a smooth rock, cleaning off rocks or smooth surfaces, collecting driftwood fragments and loose leaves. Their vents don't swell much until right before the spawn. They will flare and tail-whip at one another, but that is also common between same sex, so might not be a good indicator. Males sometimes nudge the side/vent area of females with their snout. In larger groups, increased aggression/territorial behavior between females is a good indicator that one or more is ready to breed. Their brood care is really interesting and entertaining, good luck!Loves severums said:
