Hello, I recently purchased a 7 inch dovii in rough shape from a guy who had he or she in a community cichlid tank with some mean fish lol anyways I was wondering if anyone could take a shot at sexing my dovii?

Female. If it was a male it would have spotting by now , and i have a female a tad bit smaller, you can tell by the faded black going down the spine. At 7 inches it should definitely be matured and have all that coloring if it were a male.

Female, at 7 inches it’s dorsal fins should be past it’s tail, also male dovi have much darker coloration
