Hey MoJo.
I recently picked up a 5-6" Zonatus. I have searched the web for how to tell if I have a male or female. Everyone I ask, says "ask MoJo". LOL So here I am. Could you help me out and give me some ideas, or distinguishing marks to look for? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Once I am confident in what I have, I want to order another.

Great looking specimen as always I love your photos. We all get greyer as we get older I guess fish are no exception.

The female won't maintain the shocking blue coloration. From what I can see there, I would say that's a boy.
