Need some help sexing this one.

I originally thought female as she? was getting along with a male severum and then a male Cit. The supposed male started harassing this one too much, then (s)he beat his ass up good. They are separated now. This fish is very docile for a Cit as she was raised in a SA/CA community. The other Cit is smaller and younger, but with a larger nuchal hump. This fish is about 6.5" should that help. Thanks for your opinion.

Ok thanks - we're in agreement then. These are my first two Cits so i want to be sure.

This is the my other Midas. This one is a few months younger and maybe an inch smaller than the female above. He was a bit beat up as I mentioned, but is healing up nicely.

Judging from the fish's temperament, hump, finnage, and seemingly pointed junk - I believe this is a male. Do you agree? Thanks again. :thumbsup:
