I thought that my 4" red-spotted gold, Honey, was a female, but now I'm not so sure as her dorsal fin is significantly more pointed than my new 3.5" green. The green I am pretty sure is a female. What do you guys think ?

the red is male and the green is female, you go by the markings in their face not their fins

You have to vent red severums usually to sex them. Most are males but females can have the facial markings just like a male.

Nice fish too dude...
 
Thanks guys, Any more opinions still welcome !
 
The Green looks like a female, the red should be vented as gentry said I can't tell from that picture.

I would also say the green is definitely female, and i would guess female on the red but its hard to say.
