Do you have another of a known sex? If so, then you've got something to compare against - helps me sometimes.

I have an all male Peacock tank. That's a good idea Ron I never even thought about getting one of those and comparing it.

the only problem is you have the whole "brown eye" circled.  The vent itself is what you go by, the area around it is irrelevant.

Ahh see that is what I was looking at as well. I was thinking that whole area was what you looked at to compare, now that makes sense though.

see I have too, but most my venting has been New World's & in their case you just look for the o>

BTW - you do realize you basically said her brown eye has a sparkle,  right?
