Id the sex of my cuban

[Ray neo]

Hi bud, Is my Cuban male or female?



Thanks!

How big is it? May be too young to accurately tell..
My guess is female but again, it may be too soon to tell.
The profile and dark markings indicate female, but the dorsal is slightly less dark than a mature female.
Here are some pics to compare.

Thanks bro duanes, it's around 4 inch now, will keep update for u …,Ya will male or female fin edge will have red colour Sign ?

With mine, the red edge disappeared with age, but that may be a location variant thing.
Here are some offspring from the pair in the first pics above, where the red is slightly visable.
