I'm very confused on sexing a fh. . . . i have a zz rd thats about 4 inches from tale to lip, there is a little kok but not huge like most male fh's,, but there is a small tube looking thing that shows under the belly befor the anal fin. what is that ?. . . .. . can somebody please explain different ways of sexing a fh please. . . . . . thank you!
 
If the tube is fat/round and points forward it is a female if it is skinny/pointy and points backwards it is a male. Look up cichlid venting. Most zz females have a spot in the top dorsal males don't usually get it but they do in the newer strains.
