Frank when I picked mine up at the 2.5 ish range I managed to sight pick a female. She already had more red color in her cheek and completely lacked the spots I was familiar with from the male I had before. Around 4 inches I was sure it was a female, her color and attitude really started to pop. Not sure if there is a correlation between their dominance/confidence and the colors they exhibit.
I think I can see some spotting on the gill plate of the larger one, but the smaller one is about 1/4" shorter and harder to tell, hopefully they are a pair
oh right, so by the way, it was gonna be a surprise but I guess I spoiled it. All this talk and pix of RTMs, I got a "great deal", 2 for $20 (normally $20 each) so I jumped on it. They are about 1.75" and 2". Price is higher than what u guys pay, but it was a LFS I used to work at, so I figured WTH
Very good....not a bad price at all in my opinion...Alright then Punisher ,its officially time for you to post some pics so we can start playing' sex that motaguense'.......
