The larger this fish gets the more it's looking male to me. I'm just basing it off the genital papilla. No way I can do the mirror trick, or even get better photos as this guy is in a 210 at 5".

I started with three, lost the smallest right off the bat then lost the largest a couple months ago. Down to just this one.

It has nice trailers on the dorsal and anal fins, and a lot more color than the photos show.

Thoughts?

Taken today.

Couple weeks ago.

I can't help you with sexing but it's a great looking fish.

No, they both have spangles on the face, they are very hard to sex without venting. There are people that thought they had males and they laid eggs.

Looks like a male to me.

I'm leaning towards male also, it looks alot like my 6" fella (well, I'm pretty sure it's male)

Drat! Now I have to figure out long term housing!

Coming from you that's a good sign, as I know you've had a couple males.

I say male also.
