Hello just picked up this kribenses from my LFS, not sure if it’s male or not. Thank you

Probably a little over 5cm

Tendency towards male based on the ratio of head size to eye size and position, but if you could get another angle, so the position of the pelvic fins is clearly visible it would be possible to be more precise.

Pelvic fins are the absolute key in sexing “kribs”. Not quite clear enough in those pics.

hope this helps. I’m leaning towards young male as well. Definitely looks more pointy than the obvious female I have.

As far to the front as the ventral fins are, i'm pretty sure it's a young male.

Agree, a young male.
Does the female display in front of “him”?

Yes she just started yesterday. I’ve only had them about a week, they are young and the male would chase her around most of the time. Yesterday she got the belly color and was giving him the shake.
