This should be posted in the Hybrid forum...

I'm thinking male as well bc there isn't a black mark on the dorsal fin.
 
Size of the kok is not a good way to sex Flowerhorns. It is kinda hard to tell by that picture if it is male or female.
 
yeah the guy i got him off said he had 3 2 females witch looked smaller and had pale color and this he told me was a male. but after looking at some pics his head does not have much of a hump so i didn't think male but i am hoping he is
 
that pic is washed out let me try a new pic

no one will be able to give you a definite answer, because there are no 100% accurate method of sexing visually besides venting it. Black in the dorsal, kok size, body shape etc, are far from 100% accurate way of sexing these guys.

why isnt this in the hybrid section, there is a hybrid section for a reason
 
yeah i didn't see the hybrid section i put it there now
 
could a mod move this please?
