No one answered this in my other thread, so I'll ask it here.
Anyone know the sex?

I know it's dirty but it surprisingly helps keeps the ammonia down.
 
looks female but it could be early still, males dorsals get trailers.
 
So It's a female?
That's what I thought and someone had a male this size that got trailers.
Whats the growh rate for a GT? May get a male for this one when she's 4-5 inches.
 
Maybe , that fish looks pretty small so it could go either way but from the looks of it it does appear female. Males are usually starting to develope the fin trailers around that size and are so the fins are more pointy. That one has rounded fins so it's most likely female. Also the orange trim in males is thicker than in females.

They grow decently untill they get around 7-8" , then it starts to slowdown a bit . That also coinsides with when they often start to develope a nasty attitude. I'd go ahead and track down a male now. The longer you wait the harder it can be to get them to accept each other . Ideally a few males and a few female allowed to pair naturally will have the best chance of long term success.
 
i think female but the only way to know is wait until maturity or vent...
 
ya its probably to small to tell right now but by the shape of its head it looks female. males usually have less of an angle to their "forehead" mainly due to the humb they develope
