I just got this channa yesterday and I have been discussing with people about its gender and there's a lot of different answers that really made me confused. Do you guys have any thoughts about its gender?

One of the best ways to identify make and female is the head shape from top.

V shape and U shape

It is similar in aurantimaculata as well.

The narrow V shaped is the female Nd the rounded U shape is the male.
