Hi,
Sorry about not having any photos. I know they would really help. But peas are in truth VERY easy to sex. Here is my little guide:

Males:

-Males have a black line on their bellies that appears to darken when they spot a "threat" (usually in the form of my benign little female:irked:).

-Males have creases behind their eyes. These appear to be light tan "cracks" behind their eyes.

-Males are are not quite as round as females

-males are less colorful, and their black spots are lighter.

-Males have a very distinct way of trying to kill everything in the tank.

Females:

-Females lack creases and lines.

-Females have much more vibrant colors, and their black spots are very black

Hope this helps! Again sorry about the lack of photos.
