At 1 year old a bit young for sexing, or thats what l think, and considering there has been 27 veiws and no replies so may most others also.
But to get the balling rolling for you.
l am going to say a very young male.

It`s not easy to identify a fry at one year. I haven`t even identified my group with 7 individs, and they have produced over 200 fry now.
The second picture is for (me) no use – the sex different is not visible from the underside of the fish.
But if I should guess, I would say a female.

Not trying to be contrary but with the long pelvic fins and narrow papilla I tend to think otherwise. I think it will likely be a male.
Can we get a side view of the fish?

I don´t have any side view picture. He or she have joined my main group, so the sex isn´t really that important at the moment.
Thank you:)

Not that I am the expert, but I'd think a female would be rounder. Here is a third vote for a male, so it's 3 for boys, 1 for girls right now!
