Umbee gender differences

[the animal guy]

If a male and female Umbee at juvie stage measured at the same length.. For example 3" up to 5"? How would their bodies differ? Would the male have height over the female or vise versa? Would one be thicker than the other? Would fins look different? Would skull size be different?

I think coloration has a big part to tell the difference aswell,

That is exactly my problem, my ever lasting doubt.....

Females more oval, males more long.

yes it does. But I want to rule that out and judge by form only in the case that none have any colors yet.

this one was said to be male. It is 7"
And it does look long and not oval.

I got fries growing out right now and I want to pick an oval male lol.. After what you said I think I might have a problem doing that
