He is probably between the 3-4 inch range. I think it’s to small to tell by venting right now that’s why I was trying to get everyone’s preferencePretty hard to tell for sure from these pictures but I'd say male as it has the pointed fins. See if you can snap a picture of the belly so we can see the vent. How big is this guy...seems fairly small still.
Can you vent at this ageUnless you can get a clearer picture of the vent area I’m going to say I’m leaning towards female.
In my experience only the females I’ve had get that “glow” to their dorsal fin that you see in the first two pictures. Plus the fins don’t have nearly as much color as I’d expect to see in a male this size.
It depends on the fish, but yes. I’ve vented ones as small as 2”. But those are ones with very obvious vents. Some can be tricky.Can you vent at this age
