Both fish are gorgeous. I bet the RD will bully the GT.

With big hump in both fish, they are definitely male. The size of the GT, 8 inch, is also a give away sign of a male. GT females don't get as big and slow down in growth after hitting 4 inch. That said, I have one 5 year old female GT that slowly reached 8 inch.
 
cool, thanks. that's what I suspected.

the two have been together their whole lives, and up until a couple months ago were peaceful. then the red devil did statt to chase the gt. I saw them lock li ps a couple times but noone was getting torm fins.

then the tables turned, the gts hump started to grow and he is the boss now. I havnt seen them lock lips anymore, they will just flare gills at eachother through the wood during the day and then sleep right next to eachother at night, lol.
