Got rid of the pleco here on some much better pics of the 2 fish.

Stil debating on whether or not I have a female about to lay eggs or a really fat male. It's starting to look more like a female though was gonna see if you could give me a second opinion now that I got a close up pic.

That is a female. Now wether or not she's got eggs or just needs to hit the stair master remains to be seen. Lol
 
Like it Toby wish I had just jacks in mine but its full of cons and a jack a fire mouth and a silver dollar maybe some day right
 
Ok.....I screwed that all up. Toby.....your fish looks male. Zippo.....yours is a female. Sorry for the confusion. Toby's fish is spangled all the way down the body and although it has spangles down the gills, they are very round and well defined. Females spangles will run together and in some cases become one big blue patch like Zippo's.

You do realize they are 2 different pics did you mean the super close up one looks like a male or both pics look like males

Close up and I just noticed she's has breeding stripes I'm not sure if you can see them from the photo look right below the top fin

I'm gonna say its a little small to tell for sure. The stripes really don't mean anything cause my male develops stripes at times.

Guess we shall see I wouldn't think they would get breeding stripes unless they are breeding but I guess we'll see.
