What do you think?

Im sure Steve will know. :D

Lovely fish! Great shape and colour.
I'm no expert but put my money on male due to the tangent of the dorsal fin extending beyond the tail as well as the pronounced elongation of both the dorsal and anal fin.

This may help.

Looks more like my females from that angle.

[Mr Wild]

Oh and I have females with that finnage so it doesn't always hold true.

I'm guessing male ??

[BigDaddyAdo]

Hi Ado, sorry for the late reply, but I am in the Philippines with my NEW fiancee right now, I am the happiest guy alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to your fish, I would also go with male. Although the finnage can never be a 100% accurate. But 'generally'having a long streamer on the dorsal indicates male in RT's. Give it a week or 3 with a proven femal just to see what happens :wink:

NEW fiancee

Boy would you be happy. Don't let the Old fiancee find out though! :lol:

Congratulations mate.

PS. Ado, what a cracker of a fish!

[BigDaddyAdo]

Thanks AHC.

I sold off the other male i had and got a nice Red Turk of the female variety. They obviously like each other as they spawn every 5-7 days.
