ok so i got a large Green severum. and studding them i found that the green severum has a lot of face markings, its eyes are really orange/red and its anal and dorsal fin are very long way past its tail.

where my rokeil severum has no markings on face, eyes are dark, and dorsal and anal fin and short, not even tail length,
i have got 2 pictures but there not the best.

This is my rokeil severum. see on the face no markings.

what does everyone think?
 
In our experience with sevs having longer anal/dorsal fins is not a sure way to determine their sex. If your rotkeil has a blue face with no markings then yes you have a female, and your green looks male to me. But saying that ive seen females with a lot of facial markings. Both sexs have red eyes when cross or when showing off.
