So I vented this cute little fish and its vent looked like a V/U.. I wasn't really sure.. I'm pretty sure its male.. but the vent and dorsal spot trips me up..

All comments would be appreciated as well :)

Will not say male or female, need closer pic at the fish. And the reason I don't judge fish from this distance is because a slight difference view of fish can change the entire scene of it.
 
If the FH stays true to its current shape, I'd vote for female. I dont see any hint of a nuchal hump. But, that def. does not mean anything.
 
Black spot on dorsal usually means female. Not 100% of the time though.

Yup, that's why I never judge a fish by black marking on the dorsal. When I judge it wrong with black mark on the dorsal, everyone start jumping onto me about being an expert on FH and giving people wrong info. Hahaha, good times. :D
