Vent shows female but acts like a male?

Not sure what to do next ? Acts like a male shows female when venting. Don't want another male.

I agree. Weird lol. Literally all the female and male from the fry look exactly the same. Barely any difference.

I'm in the same boat, this ones tube is huge but looks male from side, and female when vented. Guess we will just have to wait it out and see if eggs drop.

first 1 is male the 2nd one vents female but looks male.. maybe it is a transgender flower horn . females can have humps as well . You don't see it very often but it happens.. both are great looking fish

i think 209's is male because I can see the pointy vent in the clear "in-tank" pics..

and Calichai's female because the vent looks female, and it's a common thing for this type of fish to look male but are females.. They develope like that at the adult stage if they got the genes.

My other proven female has pointy vent as well until it's time to lay
