Thanks guys, I only took this fish because the guy wanted it gone and he had the only rays in town, and after I agreed to take him, he decided he was not going to part with the pair of motoro's he had.
Better to leave with something than nothing at all. I kind of think he gave the fish to me to compensate for the drive across town.

Humps actually have a good bit to do with male and female... Most females(90%) will not get a hump at all. That percentage may even be higher...Camphilophus;2336094; said:
I would say this fish is a female judging by the body structure and finage. Let it grow out a little more to be sure and vent it or post up some pix of vent around 3"-4" range... As for quality... Well price tells alot. It prolly won't be anything special but for a first FH it's not a bad start. Feed it a wide variety of foods and a good staple pellet. Hope you enjoy your new FH and it becomes personable for you like most do!
i am going to guess male. i like this body style. this fish looks alot like my male. i would wait and get some more opinions on the sex. if you are into breeding and it is a male, you can pick up beautiful females for like a third of the price of a beautiful male. then you could breed color into your fry. i also like the babies with the pointy nose.
I already vented this fish, with my lack of knowledge in the practice of venting I'd say it looked more like a U and say I'm 75% sure it's a female. The last picture doesn't do the reds or the pearling on this fish any justice whatsoever.
The Fh is in a divided 30 with a female rd atm, the aro is in another tank with my reticulated "tea cup" rays. Considering selling the ray and aro to get into the fh hobby a little deeper.
