this is a godd example to show you the difference between the males and females. this is my mates breeding pair

N00B to sexing these nice beasts which is the femal and which is the male? My guess is the one with the darker verticle stripes is the male?

Most of these pics are of males. Females will typically be yellow with black stripes. Look at my post and you can see my little female vs my male.

Could you tell your mate to ship me some of his fry to Syd ?

lol. we get all our fish here in perth from over east, including this batch of dovii. i'm sure you'd be able to get some, if not from the same parents

sorry. not the best example for a beginner as his female is quite colourful as she's breeding. in the set of 3 photo's i posted, the male is in the second photo and the female is in the third

here is a better example. male on top, female second

notice how the female has no freckles running down the length of her body. also has no dots in her fins and very little colour in her face and body

hope this helps mate

IME, LFS aren't the best when your looking for certain fish that aren't that common. like dovii

try local forums. fish breeders are usually on there
