is it a lady?

[thesquishy]

Ok so this GT was abit beat up when I got it, went through ick and is now healthy and in my big tank...Im hopen its a lady....it's about 4" now I believe...is it still too young to tell? Or did I pick up another male?

Im better at sexing JD's than GT's hahhaha Thanks in advance!

My first guess would be female but may still be early.

looks female but not a clear shot of the vent area. for the most part most cichlids can be sexed if they are mature by looking at the vent area.

hmm.. it kinda looks like a gal!
maybe i should send you my about 5 inch male!!
i too picked him up all beaten on.. but he's running my tank now!! and i feel you on sexing jd's better than gt's

Looks kinda female, but I cant say 100% sure.

i reckon a female have a close look at the dot on her side there are two glod bars running vetically that form a "H" using the dot as a centre point i can kinda see it in the pics but would be easier to tell up close

^^ wow.. i didn't know you could tell by that.. i'm gonna go look on mine!

There is no way to 100% sex it from the pictures you posted.

Verticle bars on the side mean nothing. My male has them. 100% male. A long pointed dorsal fin is a better key to sexing a male.
