sex of this tilapia buttikoferi ?

[joel]

i inherited this tilapia buttikoferi and i am unsure of the sex. It is about 8 to 9" long. What do you guys think?

female, I was told by a breeder that females have a more rounded shape.. just like yours...very nice

There is no way to really tell the difference.
Some people say that the bars on males are wider and brighter.The only way is to get 2 and see if they will spawn.
Good looking butti by the way

females are usual lighter and have brighter blue lips
