What is the sex?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Actually I take that back. It wasn't always cupped. I watched a video I made in march timeframe and it was straight. Not sure then when that happened I guess I should find him a buddy ;)

I would say say it cupped around June and has stayed that way.
 
I'd probably lean toward female then. Even if it's a longfin it should still be fleshy that doesn't look fleshy from the pics
 
It's been cupped for a couple months straight now though. Lol this is harder then I thought. I found a male for sure at the LFS so if this is a female I want tot get it....issues lol
 
The whole fin is not as thick as males I have seen more the same thickness throughout. It is only thickish at the base where it meets the body.
 
I think it's a female. I asked for how long it's been cupped like that because I though the you might have by chance caught a male in the act of cupping it's anal fin when you took the pics, but if it's been cupped for an extended amount of time than it is probably the effect of the longfin.
 
Well the long fin male I have being held at my LFS his fin is straight and thick. Have you never seen or heard of females doing this?
 
Doing what? Cupping? Or having a straight thick anal fin?
