So what should i look for in a female when i go to try and purchase a pair ?
female will look like oo instead of < o there are some threads on it here if you search venting or sexing .
i was in the same boat as you a while ago . i found taking a pic like you did and then looking at it on the comp was easier then trying to tell when looking at the fish its self .because i was able to blow up pic and see better .
edit sorry i see you did read the venting thread oh well anyway might be handy when you do look for one to have your camera ready to snap a pic then blow it up for a better look

you can see the < o in RobertD picture its kinda blurry , but still determinable .have a look at my pics here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/mean-joe-green-and-goldie-locks.652341/page-2 there a little clearer , mine are both male . if the were female it would appear more like too round areas instead of the chevron appearance of the male parts
they dont have to be too big really , its just a matter of your eyes being able to see the differences i think lol .
with mine i could not really make it out as i was holding them for the pics i took . it wasnt untill i was able to load them on to my computer and then blow them up that i was able to really tell
