GT gender ID help needed

[dempseyreed]

Need help with gender ID of our 3 GTs. I'm leaning toward all females.

first one looks male, 2nd and 3rd look female, but grow them out some more and then post more pics

3 females

same here. the 1st one has a bit of a point to it's fins, but nothing on it really says "male"

What a difference 4 months make...the one in top pic is a male and he's starting to come into his own.

Yup the coloration on picture one really screams male. Seems like there are a few distinguishing characteristics on sexing them and most of the males seem more colorful even as juveniles than the females. That thing has great color! Hopefully you are able to get a nice pair out of the trio and offer some nice colorful fish up for sale.

Agree with above,you should be able to sex gt's from around 40mm in length without to much trouble. Easy to sex from a very young age.

All three are female, males have long and pointed top fin and females are kinda rounded.

Have to disagree on that. You can see the trailers develope later on some fish. There's more than one factor for sexing rivulatus and the fin shape isn't 100% definative. Look at the most recent pic it's clearly looking male a few months later.

MonsterFishCreeper you are dead right.
I would be surprised if the fish was female.
