How could I determine the gender of Bolivian Rams?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
 
The back fin if it has red trailers at the top and bottom then it's a male. Also the females have the red tummys. Maybe someone else can explain better?
 
The female is on the left, male is on the right. See the difference in the chins?

None of these are reliable ways to sex this species IMO. I've been keeping Bolivians for almost 10 years and I still don't trust myself to sex them reliably.
