Last time I posted I was trying to get help to determine the sex of my GT.. I had a crappy camera too. Now I got a new camera and the GT is about 1/2 inch bigger. I don't know if these new pics can help determine male or female, guess we will have to wait and see... But anyways! here are some new pics just for sheets and giggles :D

It's about 2 and a half inches long, been feeding him Bloodworms 2x a day and Hikari Gold pellets x1.. 3 feedings a day, small portions.
 
i would sat female on fins, colors, head and body shape.
 
female? Well if it's only 2 and a half inches I think its still too early. Do females that small get that colorfull? I was thinking male.
How does it act towards other fish in the tank?
 
The GT in the pic is the dominate one out of the 2. It chases the other one around all the time. I know all the basics to tell male or female, this one seems to be a tough case though.. Might have to wait another inch or so. I dont want to try to take a picture of the vents, i have never done it and kinda scared to try :ROFL:
 
Most males at that size aren't that colorfull yet.
 
Oh, I did not know that small female GT's were the colorfull ones.. Learn something new everyday I guess.
 
They aren't, neither sex at that size is usually that pretty yet IME ... either it's just an unusual individual or as is common in box stores, it came from a farm that used hormones.
