This is a 3.5" Kalberi peacock bass.

My first one.

Can you tell if male or female?

I didn't know if 3.5" was to small to accurately vent the sex?

Thank you for any help.

Tough to tell the fish is still young, but looks like a female vent o0 , males have a flap o> Follow up when the fish is 12".
 
Thank you for your opinion. I really am enjoying watching this fish.
I was going to originally keep it as a solo Wet pet.
It looks as though you are familiar peacock bass. May I ask your opinion on keeping it as a solo Wetped versus having a threesome?
I would prefer to keep one however I have read that their personality and behavior diminishes when they're kept solo?
What do you think?
Thank you very much.
 
Wolfman or anyone,

Opinions on solo Kalberi?

Vs small group?

Also, do I infect have a kalberi peacock bass? I was sold this fish as a Kalberi.

Thanks
