how to Distinguish the sex of oscar fish ??

[GODZALLA]

hey guys .. i heard that one sure way to know either the oscar fish is a male or a female early is to examine the the bottom of them ... ( wasting openings ... sorry for the expiration and excuse my language ) if the are 2 and close to each other then it is a male and if they are away from each other and one of them big and the other one near the bottom fin is the small then it is the female

and here u r the pix ... is that way right or wrong ????
the one albino one suppose to be female and the tiger one is to be male is that is true ????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought that ocars were asexual, that they could not be determined unless dissected

oscars sex can bea easy determined ,first ray of the dorosal fin is short and ended sharply in case of male ,while females got a bit longer ray and ended rounded

Sorry to say that Oscars are sexually dimorphic. There is no way short of venting them or having one or the other lay eggs for you determine sex. Males look like females and vise versa...size, shape color...everything.

"asexual" is definitely the wrong word to use here
