The males have a 'horse face' while the female has smaller eyes and a more slender face.
The biggest difference is the width of the them. Females are slender while the males are much more substanial. Also the lower fin seems to be much larger on the males.


I've never heard of these rules. All my research turned up "no sexual dimorphism." Do you have references???

Here are some pictures of my BGK, 6 inches. The stripe is very prominent and goes all the way down the back. I've tried to include pics of the face. Luckily, mine is out at all times of day in all lighting conditions. What do you guys think, boy or girl?

Any way to get a picture - face on or from above? I just want to see the width of the face in proportion to the body.

I don't think the white stripe has anything to do with the 'sex' of the BGK. I have seen some with very wide - dark stripes and some with almost no stipe. Some have wide white bands on their tails some have very slim - some have 'spots'.
 
we need people to place a pic and add size of the bgk so we can try and compare.
I have seen some pics where on the photo there's a straight curve from nose to tail and on others a dip. From the nose a curve starts then as it gets just past the head a severe drop(looked like 2-3 mm on photo) then good curvature along the body. The pics/photo may have been on another bgk thread.
I'm guessing, the last pic is female and middle pic is male. Any thoughts?

If you are referring to the three pictures in my post, they are all of the same fish.
