Juvenile synspilum 5.5" TL

My current growing. I'm assuming still too young to sex? 5.5" TL

One of the hardest cichlids to tell the gender of. In fact, many people with a ton of experience will agree that at the 4.5 - 5.5 size it’s even tricky to vent them. I had one that a few people, including myself, though was male until it dropped eggs at 7.0 inches. Enjoy raising your fish. Gender only matters if you are trying to/not to bred.

Well said. Thank you ?
