I tried venting but failed, it definitely has the right amount of holes, but after that I couldn't tell you if they are b-holes p-holes or v-holes. The fish is about 6-7 inches, I'm hoping someone very familiar with Devils could take an educated guess based off of the body structure, finnage or something else. It doesn't have a hump, but it probably wouldn't because there is an alpha male Jag in the tank much larger than it is. Hopefully somebody is feeling confident sexing what seems to me like the most androgynous of all the fish I've kept. For what it's worth I've always assumed female.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Does he always swim upside down like that? You might have a bigger problem on your hands ;).

Beautiful fish no idea about the sex.
 
Vent for 100% accuracy. But based on shape/features, I'd lean towards female. Really nice looking fish.
 
Alright, let's see if these are right side up. I'm feeling good that there is a consistent feeling it's female. Thanks everybody, I appreciate the feedback.
