Sexing L066

Male or female?

I've been told female by one of the "experts" in my normal fish forum, but would like the real experts opinion
I personally believe male

The fish looks to be a bit young but looking at it's long odonthodes on the upper jaw I would say a male. Bodyshape also looks like a male.

i agree its a bit young to sex but hair on body and body shape i'd say male but give it same more time a:thumbup:nd put up again with a topshot side shot in water

agree too young. When you take a photo next time may i suggest the following

1. Background white
2. fish in water with shot from top
3. in focus
4. When you have the fish out of water the odontes tend to stick to the fish, so males become slightly harder to sex.
5. if you wish a bottom shot then of the genitile area is best

sorry just nakes it easier for all of us then. cheers jk :thumbup:
