She is female imo. completely different head shape to that of the males and body shape, you can also see the "pinch" just behind the start of the pectoral fins, and in hand look at the genital papilla is nice and round, not triangular and pointy like that of a males. she is also about 9 cm and is odontally hairy yes, but nothing like males of this size. has hardly any pectoral spines either...

I used to have 14 a few years ago, but had to sell up due to moving out of parents and buying a house.. had a few problems last year, but things are ok now. Have now just started to keep them again as time and money now allow.. and theres no other half to nag me about them now.. looking for more aswell, am going to have a few tanks set up with groups of these...
