Help Me Sex My Ram Please?

[Chuka1212]

I just got a Bolivian Ram a while ago and was having trouble sexing it, I would like to know so I can go back to my LFS and get a companion, if you know what I mean. My first guess is female, let me know what you all think. Thanks in advance!

Never been the best at sexing bolivian, but here goes...

I cant see any filamenting on the dorsal or tails (that may be camera angle but I think not) so that suggests female
Colour? never reliable with bolivian, less so when they are washed out as yours is.
Some bolivian females show their ovipositer unnecessary, as this one looks to be

Hey thanks! I was thinking female too, you're right the fins are not very filamentous. Everyone else agree I have a girl? And what should I look for when I go to my fish store to make sure I get a male...

Nice distinct filaments and apperentley males also have a much more yellow belly
