somthing to do with determining sex???? cuz im trying to determine sex of my 1 inch trimac
 
yes venting is how you determin the sex of a fish, but they do have some other distinctive traits to determin sex of trimacs

Sex differences: Males have extended finnage and display a stronger spot pattern than females. Males are larger and deeper in the body and generally more colorful than females, with a claret-coloured throat. Females also tend to have a black spot on their dorsal fin.<from cichlid madness
 
Venting is removing the fish from water and with a jewelers lense(think that's what it's called. Seperating into two buckets males/females via looking at the vent hole.

if you want to know what the vent is actually used for it is the part where the male fertilezes the eggs and from where the females releases the eggs.

well, there is both the noun and the verb

vent noun- what you said
