Sexing Lemon Tetras

[bluegopher]

I have 5 Lemon Tetras, and after weeks of careful scrutiny, I cannot see any physical differences between them indicating male vs. female. Granted, they rarely cooperate and hold still for analysis, but they appear to be identical pentuplets.

Any tips for differentiating male from female lemon tetras? My 4 yr old son will be distraught if there is not at least one boy fishy. Thanks!

With the Lemon Tetra the female has a depper body and slighty less body color. (wish i had pictures for you)
