Male Sveni. I have kept these guys a couple times - great fish. Females have white spots in the soft dorsal fin rays. I'll dig around to see if I have any pics of a female.

Sorry, I should have said white rimmed black spots on the soft rays of the dorsal fin, this is my most recent female, she was VERY ripe at only about 4". . . poor quality pic, sorry.
