Why don't you try venting no pro here but look both like males to me would love to know the truth

I'd love to vent them but I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge to justify pulling them from their tank.

The ones I have are smaller then yours I don't know what I have either but the trailers on your look male to me but Thesr are my first umbees so I'm as interested to know as you are

The first 2 big ones above are females. The baby one looks like a male.

the second 7.5" one is a keeper. Rich golden. Wait till she carry eggs and breed. She'll light up the tank
