I agree. At seven inches, finnage and nuchal hump, or lack thereof, are no surefire indication of sex.
As for red devil and midas being basically the same fish, this may be true in the trade because of hybridization, but in the wild they are two very different fish. A pure citranellum and a pure labiatus are two seperate species in the same genus. If citranellum and labiatus are grouped as the same species, why not thrown in the whole midas complex? Because these are are all individual species that have evolved to fill certain niches in their respective habitats.
By the way, I am not trying to single out the member that called red devil and midas the same fish, many others on the site seem to have come to the same unfortunate conclusion recently.
