hey does anyone know how to sex male and female red devils? any pics to help? thanks guys
 
if it's under 6" and has a nuchal hump then chances are it's a male. :thumbsup:

really though, the only reliable way to sex them is to vent them. :)
 
yea i think i may do that... can this be done at only a few inches? how bg cqan venting be done at?
 
I can't say for sure but I believe the fish has to be ~4-6" to be vented. :)

Males are larger, have more pronounced nuchal humps, (Females can have this to but smaller)and longer fins. Their vents are slim and protrude from the body. Females have larger vents, which are angled toward their anal region.
