Hi I am new to this and I've had fish for about 5 years now but i'm always learning something new. My interests have always been cichlids and I currently got 3 burundi frontons. They are around 7 inches in size. My concern is that I don't know wether they are males or females. How can I tell their gender?
 
No problem! It does say they're hard to sex. The best way (in my opinion) is to wait for the females to spawn-can never go wrong that way! ;)
 
Really, the only accurate way to sex them is by venting. It's really hard to do, and the fish have to be 2-3" before you can really even tell.
