Male or female green terror

[Rachael101]

Hi I was just wondering if any one could help me with wether my green terror is a male or female. It was very dominant in the tank I got it from chasing all the others away so assumed it was probably male. If so what size would he start to grow his hump
Thanks for any help

Interesting reading, this is a cichlid I hadn't kept before so I goggled it.

It appears yours is a male although the female of this species are the more aggressive. Amazing!

They are amazing fish I was leaning more towards male as it's colours are so bright(not shown well in the photo) but then iv seen people who have females that are really colourful

Because yours has a red trimmed blue tail fin instead of green (according to animal world) you have a male. I very awesome looking one I may add!
