Hi

Im having trouble determining the sex of the zebra in the picture below. The fish is at least 5 years old and acts like a male by hiding in a cave. ...what do you think it is?

Thanks
Kasper

I'd say it's a female, but i've never them, so the bottom side pic doesn't help me decide.

That was suppose to say - never vented them.

The males vent is pointy while the females is rounded. Hard to tell from the picture..
