All Pelvicachromis can be sexed by the shape of the ventral fins.

Males are elongated and pointed, usually with the leading ray irridescent white/blue with red in the next two rays:

Females have the first three rays truncated resulting in a rounded look. The color of the fins changes depending upon mood, though the front two or three rays are usually darker than the rest of the fin.

What size?

GL with it, they are pretty easy once they pair up. Heres my pair. I have about 10 babies about half inch from them, that are awesome.
How big are they? Mine were about1" to 1 1/4" in the photos. And about 2" now. Where did you get the male from? He is very pretty. I ended up with only 1 male and the little one is still hard to determine. I'm hoping for a spawn soon as he has paired off with a female. I moved them into a 15g tank set up for them.
