    Sexing Labs?

    flip them upside down and vent them. Males sex organ is more the size of the anus, females are larger. Pretty much the only way to tell males from females.

    Id Needed Please. Now Doubting What They Are!

    Normally Fryeri (hap ahli) don't show egg spots, but just a solid orange/red anal fin. But it looks like there is one location that does, not sure. :thumbs: Its shape and color does look right.

    cichlid i.d.s please

    #3 is not a pure Socolofi, as it looks to be a Saulosi. Its mouth is not shaped like a Socolofi. Also the tail is not Socolofi like either... Looks like a sub-dominant Saulosi, or a male yet to get its darker blue.
