Sooo, i've always been sure that my GT was a male, but i'm beginning to strongly doubt it.
"It"'s nuchal hump never appeared, and it's very docile.

Here "it" is at around 9"

Could a female really be this big?
Or could this just be a bad strain of a male without a nuchal hump?

Here are a few zoomed shots from my cellphone. Sorry for the poor quality.

What do you think? And why?

I just put in the second picture to show you that it has the pointy fins. I'll try to get a full side shot, but this "guy" is really hard to photograph, especially with a cellphone.

I think the best way is to vent them. Never done it on mine. I thought I had two males until one laid eggs lol.
 
Thanks all!

I just started doubted when seing 4inch GT's swimming around with nuchal humps, when mine doesn't even have one!

I'm definatly appreciating him just as much for what he is, it just weirded me out, hehe.
