I have been trying to determine if I have males or females (fossorochromis rostratus) for a while. I have had them for 10 months now, all 5 bought at about 1inch. The largest two are 7inches and 6.5inches. They have no displayed any change in color until last weekend I saw one look darker shaded. It was like that for two days. They are not the dominant fish so I know they may never show best colors but they are starting to become bigger no one messes with them. Below are vent pics of the largest two. I have never done this before but think I see one female and one male. Can you please take a look and let me know your opinion. I appreciate any opinions. Thanks 4F40DF26-08AF-4D6D-A5FE-0125508955F1.jpeg1223C499-F9D4-4FA8-93EF-5694AF419C0D.jpeg

kno4te, thanks for the quick reply. Do you think both look female? The top picture looks more oo than the bottom Oo, but as stated I have never done this. Is there something else you look at besides size?

Both look female.
 
Thanks for your replys. I guess I was confused when it looked a little darker the other day. E34DBD65-CF9B-4428-B770-CAFC63EF6B92.jpeg00F412C3-02CA-416B-91EB-D6D6850B57B7.jpeg
