[TD="class: alt1, bgcolor: #F5F5FF"] is this 8" midas male or female?

---

I'm planning on buying this 8" 1.5 year old midas from another member here on MFK, but he's not sure what sex it is. He thinks male but has never vented to check. this is a picture he just sent me. From this picture can you tell if its male or female? He says its very aggressive and he hasn't had any luck keeping it with anything. i will be keeping it alone. thanks everyone![/TD]

The only 100% way to tell, is to vent..

Exactly. Venting is the best way to sex Midas/RD. Ask the seller if he could vent it before you make your decision to purchase.
