Umbee experts (sexing?)

[greenterra]

I know they are meant to be hard to sex under 6" but I just wanted to get opinions on this one. It is probably about 2.5"TL but showing good color IMO. Going by it's opositor I would say male. I have never kept this species before so thoughts from those who have would be appreciated.

Way too small to tell yet GT. The vent looks male but that's because he/she is still young.
Is it possible for you guys down under to get fish from Jeff Rapps? He has some amazing wild caught Umbees that are around 7" and sexable by now.
