Males can still sometimes go through the motions.
Venting is the difference between the male and female sex organs .
The male has a v-shape while a female is u-shaped or more circular.

When looking from the side the males are usually more pointed and usually angled toward the anal fin, often with a slight hook shape. Females are usually flatter and rounded unless close to laying when there opositor will drop.
 
thanks for the info, but that mean i have to try to catch them in my tank? maybe i'll just wait until she laid some eggs, then i'll know for sure:ROFL:.

btw, how big do the fish to be before this method can be used?
 
I couldn't resist either if they came out that nice!

The lighting and resolution make them great photos.

I will be looking forward to your pictures in the future.

You have some nice clean cichlids man.
