Hard to tell forsure at that size Bro, I see in one of the pics a point starting to form on Dorsol which could hint male but not by any means a single way of sexing. I like to look at a blue line that usally only forms on the males that runs along the dorsol by the base of it. Also any signs of it going yellow ish might say female.

Hard, but best guess would be male.


Thanks guys, it's hard to get decent pics because it's so active. I'll try to give it a little more time and watch out for that blue line along the dorsal.
 
Here's a few updated pics, hopefully you guys are still thinking male

Im just guessing :ROFL:

But I had raised a batch of fry of them before and did put together a successful breeding pair at 4.5".. Your Umbee got a female shape. But the fact is we don't know for sure.

If that's a male he'll be stout beefy mofo. But I think it's female

this is my female.

How about a video or some clear side shots at the side and the vent?

Yea I know it's just a guess but you would know better than me lol, it's hard to get clear side pics because it's so active but I'll try to get a video up.
