Thanks everyone. Here's a few more pics, not the best lighting etc. but the best I could do. Hopefully someone can provide a better guess than mine as to male/female!
Thanks in advance.
More pictures would need to be provided for a more accurate guess regarding the gender of the fish. The brightness of the photos make determining very difficult. The fishes overall color intensity can oftentimes convey the gender of the fish, although sometimes it is still difficult.
Just an update on my little buddy. I'm still under the impression it's male, however, now a good 4 1/2 inches I have noticed what appears to be a breeding tube? Also, He/She has become very aggressive toward other fish except my festae! He either ignores it or just let's it "hang out". Any further input?
Thanks to all in advance.
