Yeah your right and this has lot of good information thank you!! But I have read about vents being different as well. The female having ‘U’ shaped bigger vent compared to the male having a ‘V’ shaped. I posted the pictures where I saw my EBA’s vent which looks like a male. Is this another way of finding out or it’s hit and miss?
Here is another image and as per the information you have provided my EBA doesn’t have black scales on the lower jaw or black scales near the caudal fin.
Im planning to keep only 1 as I don’t have a big enough tank for 3 or 6. I wanted my EBA to be a centerpiece fish with 8 Danison barbs. A Male would be good 😁
