Sex my bichir

[Brengun]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to sex my bichir?
I know its got something to do with anal fins but its got 3 fins under there and I am not sure which one I am supposed to be looking at.
Only had it a few weeks and omg its grown fast. Must be all those cherry shrimp it likes to eat.

How big is this bichir? It's a female and you got yourself a hybrid too. Between a polypterus senegalus senegalus and a polypterus palmas polli aka Sene x Polli.

yep! the mouth shape points to polli, and the dorsal fin pattern too.

To the OP, the unpaired (single) fin is the anal fin, the paired fins are the pelvic fins.

This is female, read through the stickies, it will give you more detail.
