Have you seen how to "vent" yet? It could be a male or female. Here is a link to check out: www.frontosa.com/viewtopic.php?t=1355

I hadn't but will read it. Jon vented them when we were there and said one was male and one was female but he wasn't sure which, but I thought maybe I heard that wrong because with the hump on his head and him being so much bigger it appeared he was the guy. I"ll have a look at the link. I've been wanting to learn venting.

I'll try it if I can ever get the fish back in the net, and then in my hands. That one's much bigger than my palm. Maybe Dennis will have to hold it.

I have two proven female "Burundi Types" that have equal or bigger humps.

Samuelskelly,
Frontosa are normally kept in a colony (they are harem breeders) with two males and up to a dozen females. Some have had success with quads (1m-3f). Frontosa normally have to be 4 1/2" to 5" before they can be sexed. I have a large male Kigoma (seven stripe, around 8 1/2") that I would sell - sorry, no females.
