This was my 8-9" male. He died in May of this year. Long drawn out story there so I won't go into it. But he was my pride and joy.

I really miss him. His name was Cuervo.

are u shure it was a male i hope mine male gets a bigger hump like ones posted in the other pics

Thanks Caveman, these pics were taken about a month before he died.

im back, I never had a female with him. One of the reasons cichlids grow nuchal humps is to try and influence the female to breed. And even at that, not all GT males grow humps. And yes, I'm 100% positive that he was a male. Males are more colorful, have pointed fins, and IME have a wider ban of color on their tails than do the darker less colorful females. The long pointed trailer fins that Cuervo had was a sure sign that he was male.

Actually here a couple of pics of my last breeding pair.
The male at not quite 3"

The female:

Hope that helps some!

I've got three Gold Saum which I believe are not the true GT, but I honestly think they are more impressive than the real McCoy. They are +/- 5months old now and really starting to colour up.
