Hello
I just got a bloodred RedDevil, its around 4-4.5". I want to know beside males get a hump and females dont or have smaller humps, is there any other way to sex it?

Thanks!
 
Here are some pics. Best I can do.

Fins make it look like a male, but i think the shape of the head and body point at female.
 
To vent you need to look at the area around the naughty bit. If its U shaped its female. If it looks V shaped its a male. The bad part is you really have to take the fish out of the tank and flip it over....
