Male or hairy female? I need your help!

We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

Male or hairy female? I need your help!

Post by Piranha »

Hi,

Would someone please help sexing my 2 L46? The one at the top is probably a male but I want to know your opinion about the one at the bottom. Thank you in advance for your help!

I think both are males, judging from the long odontode growth

Thank you very much for your opinion.
Anyone else? :)
Is there any chance that it is a hairy female? :D

I might be mistaken, but the bottom one looks like it has pretty long odontodes on the cheek.
