T Troy1801 Feeder Fish MFK Member Mar 8, 2011 26 0 0 Helena MT Mar 21, 2011 #3 I think I get the idea of venting but but what do I look for to determine the sex?
Aqualoon Piranha MFK Member Jul 8, 2009 1,787 52 81 Minnesota Mar 21, 2011 #4 How big is your GT now? I'd say right around 2.5-3" mark you'd be able to tell from body shape, fins, coloration, etc.
