Male or female O. Lithobate??

[Bre]

Just wondering if anyone could tell if this were a male or female by the pics?

how big?
Hard to say with no scale. Before someone beats me to it, if it is a juvi...try venting!

With the amount of yellow on the top of the body already i reckon it could turn out to be a male.

He/she is around 2-2 1/2".

Here is a few photos of mine starting to color up a bit..


1. male starting to color up..



2. female..



3. female..




All together i had received from Notoriousway 6 Lithobates i believe i have 2 males and 4 females they will look awesome when full grown..


Too answer your question it looks like a female but time will tell..

I also believe it to be a female...I have a male who is really starting to color...He doesn't have the blaze though but still is looking good.

Yeah i like them very much and i cant wait for mine to start breeding but mine are at 2inches as well.. cool fish..

Here is a pic of my male... I am hoping to get some fry with the blaze, so I can keep a male from them as well.

Yeah my pict doesn't do mine too much justice but basically about the same size and just a tad bit lighter in color..

I got them so that my syno multipunct's would have a mouthbrooder present to place some syno eggs in, which the dude i got the syno's from said they were breeding with peacocks when he had them and i just figured to go with the litho's instead of something else..

thats alot of yellow on the head to be a female, i would say male. My females have no yellow on their heads. They take a while to color up. My male is almost 4inches and still isnt fully colored. Here is one of my females, she is pretty big and has no yellow blaze at all
