Green Terror Venting Help

[AustenN]

Hi I have some images of the vent of one of my green terror cichlids. I was wondering if the vent indicates a female or 'egg tube' or a male. Thank you.

I'm absolutely terrible at venting, but have raised several male RIvulatus GT's over the years. The males have very Irridecent blue - green scales. Quite a contrast to the females duller shades of color. The male's Orange fin edging is far more vibrant and thicker than the females. Here is a pic of my baby GT male. He has all the above listed physical traits as well as a bad attitude. I really love GT'S.

for proper venting, you have to take the fish out and flip it upside down with close up pics of the area.

Post some images of the full fish. GT's are pretty easy to sex without having to remove/vent to see.

What we need is a full side shot of the fish.

This is a female I had for a bit.

A key to telling the sex is the unpaired fins. The dorsal, anal and tail in males will be bright and shiny much like their body. In females these fins are dull, not bright and shiny. Compare my female to the pic A201 posted. See how bright and shiny its fins are compared to the one I posted.
