Ooo nice you donā€™t see many chocs and they are a lovely fish. I would say this one is Male as it has very pointed dorsal and anal fins. When they get bigger itā€™s easier though as males get a very square head where as females stay sloped

yeah i thought it was a female because of the rounded tail, but yes it needs to grow up

Most heroine type cichlids have paddle tails so donā€™t get the extensions on either gender like a geophagus for example
 
first one is latest picture

Still think itā€™s a boy the head is squaring off and the fin extensions are getting longer. Stunning fish tanks looking good too!
 
Hey everyone Iā€™m 95% sure my chocolate is a male but just want some clarification on the smaller one. I got them for free from a breeder when I bought the tank and they were in horrible conditions and I wish I couldā€™ve taken more but I brought them back from brink of death to now rough 2 and a half years later. And sadly the smaller one hasnā€™t really grown at all :(
