Need help to sex my temensis bass

[Mustardtiger101]

Hey I have a few people that are interested in buying my 8" temensis peacock bass and wanted to know the sex of it and I'm not sure how to tell. So if you guys could help me identify the sex that would be great! I can take more pics too if need be.

Only way you'll be able to tell at that size is to vent the fish. We would need pictures of the fishes stomach near the anal fin

Here's the best picture I could get.

A little hard to tell, when I vent fish I just take them out of the tank and flip them over.

People who believe in the anal fin stuff will tell its female. I dont believe in this, but at least I can guess the sex for you haha.

You really can't tell from the anal fin until they start to mature at around 12". They all look female when smaller. A picture of the underside is the only way to tell 100%

Thanks guys for all the help. I really didn't want to have to net him/her out and take a picture of his/her stomach but looks like I'll have to lol

Even at that small size is hard to vent.
