get some closer pics of the anal fin. seems both has broader fins, my guess are males. they should also be smaller than a female. some male senegals i saw only grows close to 20cms. look up also the your jurassic book and there is a page there for determining sex.

The anal fins both look broad. That's what I'm concerned about. They are pretty much equal in body length. I'll ask him to get a close up of the light coloured one. The darker is def a male IMO

Yeah, +1 for two males.

These are pics of the anal fins from the two ornates I had. 1st pic is male (thick/muscly), 2nd is female (thin/weak). Shows what to look for.

If he decide to sell i have a friend looking for a male. You will just have to post it though.
