Sarina Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Male (L) / Female (R) Male (Top) Displays more iridescence on the edges of his fins, and a lighter, brighter color pallet of orange and blue. His body is more streamlined and he is larger, with a less prominent belly when recently fed. His dorsal fin does not come to a fine, thin point, but is more rounded before it comes to a point at the end. Very slight nuchal hump that makes the face appear subtly dished. Female (Bottom) Displays a shorter, deeper body with darker orange and blue tones. Wider belly when recently fed, and very little iridescence, it is really only across the body. Dorsal fin sharply pointed at the end, with no rounded taper. Lacks a nuchal hump, face is not dished at all and slopes down in a smooth line. Face tends to be slightly shorter than males. I will update behavioral differences I notice as I get to know these fish, but since there’s like no good sexing guides on these guys I figured I would put one out there. Before someone asks, I got them from Dan’s Fish, but they are now sold out. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes these are my fish, I actually have 5 of them, 2 males and 3 females in a 40 breeder. So far they are getting along 🤷♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
