psx - Its called venting and it can be done on mst cichlids, although it must be done by a trained professional it is a 100% accurate if they know what they are doing.

Do a google and you'll find out more..

also, fin shape can help, but not 100% accurate

Fins are definately not a reliable test. I can show you a big masculine looking blue diamond with pointed dorsal and anal fins, with beautiful flowing extensions on the dorsal. A really beautiful looking male fish - except SHE lays eggs. :shock: See, even after 30 years of discus I can still be fooled :oops:

What are the best books on discus. When I say best I am saying all round. Some books may be better for general information, some for breeding etc.
