male usa
Hi, I'v had a fire mouth for a while now and I have been wanting to get a mate for it but I cant sex them. I know that males have pointy fins but what size are they before you can tell? I went to look at some other firemouths but they all look the same. None more pointy then the other. What other information can you give my about sexing firemouths??? My fish is about 2 1/2 inches and the others (at the store) are the same.

The female does not have so much color as the male. The first picture is my male firemouth you will see his colors is very bright and vibrant. The second picture is of my female firemouth you will notice her color is a lot duller than his.

No the female is smaller. Mine have not breed as yet. Had them for about 3 months now.
