Hi Red,

You don't say how big or how old your fish is. In my experience it is very difficult to be posative about the sex of peppermints till they are a fair size and age.

I had what I thought was 8 females, 2years old and around the 8 - 10 cm mark. I intoduced a large male and two of them put on a spurt of growth and grew whiskers.

Check this link, Vincent has put a good pic of a typical female.
