Couple more pics... in the first pic I posted I understand why we would say female... but in some images the anal fin is extended out and looks thicker... maybe i just havto wait till the ornate gets bigger
Still looks female. At the base of the tail besides the tail being wider there will be a large muscle the area will look some what swollen all the time. Thats hard to see in pics. Also may not be old/big enough yet. I thought my male delz were female for almost 2 years.

posted a link to does nothing for me lol it's always best having a Male and female to compare... in those pics nothing looks swollen? I've always had trouble sexing any fish... I've finally sexed my walking catfish as a Male and that took me 2 months and hes 13 inches
