Male and female pictures?

[msminnamouse]

Does anyone have a picture of a male and a female Senegal bichir for reference so I can tell what mine is?

The illustration belows shows the only true and best indication of sex in all members of the polypterid family.The sexual dimorphism may not be clearly evident in smaller upper jaw species till they reach 7-8 inches.And in larger species they may need to be 10-12 inches for sexing to be definate-Anne

Like Anne showed the male has a larger anal fin than the female. You won't be able to tell until they are mature enough though.

Oh... That's kind of disappointing.
