Anyone know a good way to sex Hoplias Malabaricus? Mine's about 9 inches, and I'm just curious about what to call it.

almost impossible to tell the difference.
one of the differences is that the female is usually fuller bodied.
but its really really hard to tell for someone who hasnt bred them before.

this may be hard to tell when you only have one fish.
how do you know if the dorsal is longer or shorter?
or fuller bodied?

A picture's not possible. I'm in college so I'm home only sporadically. From what you guys have said I think it's probably male. It's pretty pencil-shaped and the dorsal fin seems pretty long. I'll try and get a picture eventually.
Can anyone post pics of confirmed males or females? This is something I am trying to learn myself, as these are one of my favorite fish.
