Buy several from good stock(Jeff Rapps or Ken Davis) and keep the nicest.I picked mine cause it was the largest and most dominant of the group.

that guy looks really short bodied? Where all the ones in his batch built like that?

I really didn't notice.Got him from Ken Davis.He is F1 from Reagans Big Head line.
 
I just picked the one I liked out of the tank. Had nice red eyes and a few black blotches. I don't really care for the blotches or the hump or anything as long as he was appealing to me. Just look for whatever your interested in.

All on you guys seem to be telling how to find a male. What if your looking for a nice female?

it all depends on what you think is nice. Personal preference. At small size, you can't really hand pick males and females. Just go for the smaller ones with the nicest color/pattern if you're looking for a female.
