Lamontichthys llanero sexing

Post by kiwidu21 »

Hello, I got two Lamontichthys llanero a month ago, which were sold to me as a pair. They measure about 20cm including the tail. However, I have a big doubt about the sexing. What do you think ?

The lower one looks like a male - I can't make out the other.
