Need your help again..Im looking to breed some Gold Nuggets..

Can you tell if this is a male or female? Im thinking female because of the rounded head?

Thanks

What size is the fish?

Note that breeding these fish is far from simple - they are actually pretty hard to keep alive in an aquarium. If they are mature specimens, it's fairly obvious which ones are male and female.

This photo shows an 8" fish that I'd be happy to call male (displayed at Southern Catfish Rescue Show):
