Hi,
Is anyone any good at sexing Lampeyes? Can’t work out if the one in the pictures is a male or female? (It’s the same one in all the pics just diff angles)

Are yours fully grown? I have 4 of them in my tank (one of them jumped out :(). When I first got them a month or so ago I think they were not fully mature but now I can tell my 3 males easily from the one female by the anal fin. The anal fin on the males is much sharper and has more a "swoosh" shape while the female's is more rounded. Also the males have a yellowish hue.
