My fish is roughly close to 5 inches now and displays his breeding tube nearly all the time now. The only problem is that sometimes it appears to be sunken in more, while at other times it appears very long and clearly looks like a male to me. I heard that feeding them a hefty amount will bulge thier belly and make the breeding tube easier to see. Not sure if there is any truth in that but these pictures were taken well into the day and hours after having some frozen krill.
The first few pics are general shots, while the last few are my weak attempts at getting a vent shot. The last pic is the very best I could take before the battery on my digicam ran out. Tomorrow, I'll get some better shots and peferably after I feed him. If anyone wants to make some educated guesses on sex before I can get some better shots of the vent, be my guess. Thanks!
And finally, this is the best picture I was able to get before my batteries ran out. You can clearly see it is long there. What do you guys and gals think? Tomorrow I'm going to feed him and try to take a much better pic. Untill then, this was the best I could do:
