hi guys i think my RD's are big enough to sex now ( via venting ). i wanted to take a pic for all you expericanced venting people to see of you could sex them. They are about 6-7 inches. should i just net them and take a picture ( or film a movie ) of their under belly for you guys to look at ? or what would be best way for you guys to see of them to vent them ? - Marty.

The vents look identical to me. Both look like girls. Is there any differences between the two fish in head shape or finnage?

Here is a link to an article about vent sexing cichlids. It also has pictures showing the male and female vents. Most of the pics are African cichlids, but I imagine it wouldn't be much different for Americans.
