I'm planning on having a breeding partner for my green terror I have several younge growing up but need to know my fishes gender. I have had other groups say female. So "she" is 8 inches long and had her 3 years old since juvenile. Thank you

I would say male for two reasons.
1) shape of it's head
2) the bright markings in the unpaired fins is a male trait

Here is a male I had as an example

Though no real head bump and venting was difficult for me to say due to my inexperience.

It's the angel of the forehead that gives it away. Females are vastly different in shape.

Here is a female. You can see the gentle slope VS the flatness a male has. Also you can see how the unpaired fins are dull and don't have all the bright shiny markings in them.
