How do you sex a green texas?

[stuckinthemiddle]

Can anyone give me some info on how to sex a green texas/escondido?

I got 3 that are pushing 2.5 - 3" now and want to get a pair. If you got pics, can you post em up?

Thanks all

I've heard females have a black blotch in their dorsal fin but that it's not a 100% effective way to sex.

Similar to a female salvini?

Yes, similar to female salvini. Although, female salvini have a black spot on their gill plate as well.

How can I resist? The smaller one is a female. Look at them and figure it out yourself. lol Note, this female has no black blotch on her dorsal. Sadly, the male killed her a few months back. I've just recently acquired a new female.
