O.K the method of my madness.....

The circle pattern around the eye of the fish is a trait seen mostly in male specimens. You can see the start of heavy speckling in the body, dorsal and tail.

In my past breeding and raising of these fish females at the 2" mark don't show any blue except in the cheek and it doesn't consentrate around the eye. The body of a 2" female will show mostly all black with a few vertical strips, no speckling.

So that's why I say male. Do you have to agree....no it's just what I see.

Toungue I already owe you to much to let you in on this bet!! :lol:
