Male or female?

[elephantnose]

I've recently bought two GBRs one died and I'm going to trade the dead one for a new one. I want to buy an appropriate GBR so I need to be sure of the gender of this one. I think it's a male but just to be sure... http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...7-F50B-4BE6-B22B-B18E01E4500B_zpsnbdlkl0y.jpg

Male, females develop a pink belly and more rounded finnage

Ok thanks, that's what I thought. I've just been getting mixed answers.

Definitely male. There are no blue flecks inside the black spot either.

This is not a viable form of sexing german rams, I have seen many males with blue scales over the lateral spot, it really only applies to wild rams

Okay I bought what I hope is a female I noticed this had a pinker belly. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...3-DCB9-4116-944B-384EEB336B49_zpsolqayqql.jpg she is almost void of all color.

 

[Luananeko]

Yep, that looks like a female. She should color up once she's out of the bag and settled into the tank

 

[elephantnose]

I'm currently drip acclimating her ill post a pic once I get her in the tank.

 

[elephantnose]

The male is taking to her instantly. Of course in the pic the female is facing the wrong way and my male angel is photo bombing. Having trouble up loading the pic

I see you didn't buy from YUNITE then? X) I didn't even notice your angel at first,he's so dark

 

[schoeplein]

Yup. First one is definitely male and the second is, from what I can tell, female. Pointed dorsal fin on the first is a pretty good give away. Second has a rounded dorsal.

Pandicorn, yeah he's almost entirely black even his eyes. He's the male in my breeding pair of angels. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...9-7FF3-422C-96AE-C03150886447_zpslxjvmhgz.jpg. For the price yunite charged I ended up with 4 golden rams. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...7-9FB3-4614-A4C0-DC656170DDF2_zpsq1ijtjge.jpg and my two GBRs. My male is stunning. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...3-2EED-48AE-9AF8-A6422061EE99_zpsmgeanuvu.jpg this pic isn't great but I couldn't get a better shot ATM.

 

[schoeplein]

Dang. That angel is indeed black as black can be! Impressive looking guy. Golden and blue rams are both quite stunning, too.

Yea, I'm curious too see how the angels fry will turn out. They usually lay eggs every two weeks. But so far they usually end up getting eaten. Once they lay again it will be their 5th time, I'm going to remove the eggs and hatch them on my own.

 

[Pandicorn]

Yup, his rams are great! x) Mine bred already, eggs got to black dot stage, then got eaten x(

I would say so, but at that size it should also have a pink belly, a pic would be helpful
