i'm still a bit paranoid that this one might turn out to be a female, but i'm pretty sure it's a male LOL

 

[young_rico]

how can you tell the sex?

I love this guy and his humpback. There's just something very interesting about him.

Thanks. He has quite a personality and he is super smart.

how can you tell the sex?

Too tough for me to give you good explanations because I speek french, but it is mostly with the colors, especialy the colors below the horizontal black stripe.

males have the black freckles running down it's body in lines, below and above that thick black horizontal line. also they have dots in their fins, mainly the ones in the dorsal and tail fins give this away. also males have alot more colouration in their faces.

females shouldn't have any of these characteristics, but sometimes they do while juveniles, which can makes it extremely difficult to sex them.
