sex my fishes

[PMK]

I have a few fish that ive been growing there all about 4-6 inches but im unsure of sex since i was never good at sexing fish. Ive got a managuense red tiger motaguense loiselli salvini golden saum and an umbee. Thanks for the help

not good with SA/CA cichlids but the GT looks to be a male

They're all males except for the Jag and Umbee - which are females of course.

Ok Im just curious how do you tell the differnces between the males and the females. Just to give it a shot for myself with some other fish i have

With a quick eyeball sexing, its mostly the finnage, speckling, and body shape (on some fish) that give it away.

Ok, the Salvini has no red in the ventral area and no black spot on the operculum. Therefore it's a male. The GT looks distinctly male due to its body shape and fins. The Jag is female because of the lack of black spots on the body and her general yellowish colour. The Umbee is female because males normally have a lot more blue/green spangles on the body at that size.
