Need help sexing this convict, please!

[Nabbig2]

I know sexing convicts is easy...but today I got a pair, and I'm sure one is a female, and pretty sure the other is a male. Here are some pics of the male, I want to make sure he is a male. Sorry, but this is the best pics my camera can take of fish in water. This has been really stressing me out since I noticed a bit of very light pink around the convict’s cheeks.

Why would you have trouble sexing convicts? They dont even get orange on thier cheeks. He's already got a small bump.

I just wanted to be REALLY sure...can never be too sure with your fish.

Females DO get orange on the cheeks Mystix

It's not orange though ... It's blush. And Both are capable of getting blush.

Show us tha mate too

I'm talking about some females getting actual orange on the cheeks. Blush often occurs under poor water conditions.

All the above are males.

I was just clarifying the above Not disagreeing with your statement Though even to me it looks somewhat that way reading it again.
