Hello there, i have a dovii hybrid in a 120 gallon tank. i think he/she/it is mixed with motaguense.... but it could be managuense. he/she/it is about 7.5 inches long and ive had it for about five months now. anyways this is my first Parachromis ive ever owned and im not quite sure how to visually sex them. so a bit of help would be sweet.

looks female visually. Females of the parachromis family typically have blotchy spots and bars from my experience. Males tend to have more symmetrical dot like markings on their body with the occasional blotches here and there. But being a hybrid, I can't say for sure.

Your hybrid could have mota or freddy mix
