Is this Green Terror a male or female?

[Murrayt]

Cant say that I feel like a shmuck when I simply thought it was smaller than 8" and laughed at the joke. On the contrary, I am now a firm believer that when asm129 tells his lady that he has 10"... he has 10".

As for the GT, I thought it looked Male in water, but it does look more like a Female from your measurement picture... confusing.

Here's where my logic comes in... When you took it out to measure the overall length, why not vent it? Or take a picture and we could identify whether its male or female. It does look very thin, almost stunted, which is likely why it is difficult to sex.

 

[ehh]

Bet you two feel like schmucks now

Cool, thank you. Is there anything that stands out that makes it look like a male? I'm trying to get better at sexing GTs.

What type of severum is that in the pic?

 

[asm129]

It's a Rotkeil Severum.

Looks like a male to me also. The forehead and dorsal fin makes me think that way. I am no expert, but my female did not have the long stringing dorsal and sloping forehead like that. I know there are other ways, but those tend to be my indicators. Also, why would someone say that fish wasnt 8" from a photo unless it was swimming next to a known size fish or object. The nerve...
