When I bought this Firemouth it stood out as the best colored fish in the tank so I was thinking male. It's now about 5" and its dorsal and anal fin haven't really extended. It's also pretty round but that may be to its appetite. What do you think m or f?image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
 
Female (round/blunt papilla).

I'm hoping you're right since I picked up a very nice male. This one seems very dominate at the moment
 
Thanks. This is the male I picked up and they seem to be hitting it off. image.jpg
