Would appreciate confident opinions on this Zebra Tilapia vent.
I think it's female but I am not 100%. Cichlid is about 2".
Thanks in advance.

It's my understanding that the vent is always closer to the anal fin. The anus is more towards the head or cephalad.
If the vent and the anus are similar in size and simetrical it's male.
If the vent is wider or bigger than the anus it's female.
I'm just not sure if this applies to a 2" cichlid?
Thanks again.
