hi, i got this green terror. 1 month back. and
its around 3.5 inch in length.
now i see that there is a bulgy stomach and a tube is growing out of the anus area.
I suspect its a female ,its got dull blackish body but nice bluishness over the stomach area and on the fins and a green markings on face.But now i see
a fully filled stomach and a tube getting dropped for the past 3 days.

If you could post a non blurry pic from the side, and close up it would help alot.

Looks male to me, but the fins are very rounded compared to my males
 
I just saw him/her digging pits on the side adjescent to the red devil side(partitioned).
Both of them are digging pits.
 
:confused:
:(I wanted a male green terror.Got fooled with a female terror.:(
Guys i checked out every where net , MFK.
Is there any sure short way to sex a green terror.
Atleast some way so that to close the call to 80% or 90%.
Cos to get this green terror i exchanged three terrors and wasted a lot of money.
Untill for the past 1 month i was seeing this small tube thing which is not present in any of my male fishes(texas or red devil)
i was suspected that its a female still i waited
till i saw today its protruding out and the belly is swollen.
:(
 
Females TEND to have more rounded dorsal and anal fins, and they have less but thicker green lines on the lower gill plate. Body shape is more rounded. The only 100% way to sex them is by venting.

Here's a shot of a 10" male I used to own. He's over on the east coast now.

Note the greater amount but thinner lines on the face and gill plate. More elongated body. Longer dorsal and anal fins.
 
yea its a female. females have rounder bodies and semi long fins. thats how my female looked at that size... who cares if its a female check out my threads my female looks just as beautiful as any male
