New A. Sagittae for bday

[Jexnell]

When sexing fish the male part looks like a V hanging down as in this pic. The sun is even making it glow
A closer view


Females have a tube. Looks like a U Literally a tube hanging down as it has to pass eggs, where as the male just passed milt so comes to a point.





One last thing. Look my the first pic I posted. Look at Caspers head shape, then look at your fish. It's the same, females slope matches the mouth angle of about 45° all the way to the dorsal.

Thanks for the visual description with pictures. I have seen tubes on females before laying. i haven't however noticed the v protruding on males. I just have some experience with the oo oO venting on Aficans. TYVM for the pics!

These fish are simular as far as the oo oO goes.

The female tube is bigger than the males by far. So when not in use and sucked up into the fish gives the female look of oO
The bigger O being the breeding tube sucked up into her body.

Hope all is well and everyone is having a happy holiday. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Been a while since I posted. I just wanted to give a quick update on my Sagittae Julius. He is the only one left besides his buddy the Syno Angelicus. Doubt I will be able to keep another cichlid with him unless it is the size of a dinner plate. I am not really a tank tapper I just wanted to show his attitude has increased proportionately with his size in the video lol. It is a quick careless video...sorry for the reflection and quality.

He's coming along wonderfully. Keep up the good work and updates
