Male for sure females don't get the reds males do and and also the extensions on the dorsal and anal fins are a giveaway. He looking rockin dude he is loaded with spangles lots more than mine @8" how is his aggression? Mine is SUPER aggressive
His aggression seems to be low now that the female is out of the picture. She was the only one he ever chased around. Of course he's not a mature adult yet so that could change as time goes on.
Wow!! Balton, that is the prettiest Ornatum that I have seen!! Mines looks good, but yours looks real good In fact, I have told you this before, all of your fish are show fish... Just gorgeous... Nice job
I have 2 females and a male at about 4" and I'd agree with the above about sexing so far. Females at this point for me are not as spangled and the dorsal and anal fins are much shorter. Who knows if this will work when they are bigger though.
