Here he is. Added another pic, and will take 10 more if I have to, cause someone thought it may not be a male..... What do you guys think or is he/she to small to tell?
Thanks guys. Just want to be sure.
 
I belive a green severum. Got 2 yesterday on a whim. They were taken to the pet store together because they were killing everything in the owners tanks...... Larger one is definitely a female. Here is a pic of her. Think I'm going to name them Bonnie and Clyde!!!! :)
 
The top one looks like it has nice blue on the face. I have a Green and it looks the one pictured on the bottom. Nice fish!
 
Thanks, really want them to spawn eventually.... Had to buy both cause they had been together for so long.... Need to know sex though if want fry..... For obvious reasons!!! :)
 
severums are very hard to sex but i would say you have them the wrong way round. although its very hafrd to be sure. id say comparing the two pics the smallest one (1st pic) is more likely to be a female and the larger one a male. supposedly they can be sexed via dorsal and anal fin lenngth. males having longer ones than female. if this applys to your fish then id say female and male
