Green Terror - Male or Female?

[Aqualoon]

The pictures below were taken on 3/38/2011 and it was unknown what sex it was because of the size...

Below are pics taken tonight - a little over a month later...

Taken with my phone - only camera I have sadly.

The third picture shows a female GT in the background - I'm looking at the one in the front.

I'm thinking that it is in fact a female because of the coloration on the face, however I'm not the best at sexing GTs so wondering what other people think.

At that size it would probably be a pretty safe guess to say that it is a female.

But you never know untill you vent it.

I'm horrible at venting, but I'm thinking that it is indeed a she.

In your middle photo with the two fish together, male is on top, female is on the bottom.

Actually in that picture the Suam on top is a proven female.

Nice colored female then, I'd say both are female.

In that picture, the saum on top is a proven female, has had many many batches of eggs. She's a little beat up because a male sal tried to spawn with her, so he's in another tank while she heals up. Prolly won't be putting him back though - he's an aggressive lil sob and she just isn't.

Since I was just using a crappy camera phone I decided to take a video of him/her as the camera was making it look like s/he had more blue/green on the gill plate then what is actually there.

I have a proven female gold saum on the tank already, and her gill plate is basically all blue/green with no spotting. Lately the smaller GT in question has been getting a lighter body and the gill plate is still dots of blue/green but no splotching that the females get.

Anyways, video below, let me know what you guys think.

Oh and that's not music for the video, just what I had playing in the background.
