possible male

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!).

i just brought him saturday dont think he was too well cared for the tanks water was yellow. they said they couldn't see him for about a year and suddenly he came back out of the gravel dont know how true it is. do you think there is anything i can do to maybe help him, maybe adding some meds to the water just incase i have 9 zebs in the tank maybe i could do with pre treating them to stop them getting ill. I read on here someone treats his fish once a month to stop them getting worms is this a sood idea. I have been feeding brine shrimp pellets blood worm pellets variety wafers and gave them some peas yesterday with the skins taken off. Any thing better i can give to fatten them up.

I brought 2 zebrs which hadnt been looked after too well one had no tail fin. After about a month in good water conditions the tail had grown back.
Trouble is people have these fish in their tanks and suddenly realise they are worth money.
Im sure with a bit of TLC it will be ok. :)
