Can Vieja experts help me sex this fish? I have attached 2 pics.
The fish is around 4 - 4.5 inches.

No way of telling from a solo fish of that size. Unless you can vent the fish it will just be guesswork until the fish is mature.

Thank you for the info.

Thank you for the info.

No problem, sorry I couldn't be more helpful but it really is impossible to say without venting the fish.

Looks like paratheraps fenestratus, possibly a hybrid

Why do people on here call any vieja species just “veija”. Never mind which species that would be irrelevant lol. Just a random observation.
But agree about venting, it’s the most reliable way to sex.
