Sexing Uaru amphiacanthoides

[bantamweight1911]

Here are some pics of 2 fish.

I would like to question the common conception that Uaru are not sexable (other than venting)

Fish 1 side on


Fish 2 side on


Fish 1 head


Fish 2 head


Can you sex them please!!!!

Hello
Now I realized that this is an old comment, but I hope it still is in effect the item for you.
The mine have the same difference in their foreheads. Attached is a photo.
In theory, your fish would be the No. 1 male.
Pay attention to the shape of the operculum. In males appears to be squarer and more rounded in females.
On the internet we read that the females have red eyes more during the rut. Also that black spot on the side is larger in males.
