It's tail is a little beat up so I'm assuming it came into the LFS from another hobbyist's tank. We tried to vent sex it at the LFS but not skilled enough to make a good educated guess on sex. My other big quetzel seems to be excited about the new one and did a color change by turning dark on its back with some black and turning dark on its belly. I've always assumed my bigger quetzel is a female. So...anybody want to guess sex???

The new quetzel:

My biggest quetzel already in tank that I think is female. This is the color she changed to after new quetzel introduced:

Males will develop a more rounded raised cranial profile.
The males dorsal fin will also rise a little steeper towards the end of the fin than a females will.
Behaviour us also a good indication.

Hi is a nick name for this a, red head? Only I'm sure there's some in my LFS and there getting sold as red heads, or is a red head a different fish from the same family only they look almost identical
