Hi,
A photo from above the fish, looking straight down on it is usually best if you want an "accurate" answer.

Cheers

Ok, so is it ok if I put him in a breeder box and take a photo from the top, he won't die of stress or any thing? Thanks

Could I suggest that posting the same topic three times (two of which are SHOUTING) isn't the best way to endear yourself to the forum. I'll fix them all up...

Probably too young to tell, and looks a bit undernourished as well. Also, the pics from above are key, but these pics are not very useful. Too far away, too much shadowing...not enough detail. I would say let it grow and fatten it up, and then try to get another set of photos from above, but up close, with good lighting, etc, so we can see the details...

Hi,
I would say it is a young male.

It needs better feeding in its diet, as it is quite skinny.

Cheers
