This actually clears how can we vent. However, the question here is how can we identify which one is what....

I have 3 pbass which were merely 3 inches when i gor them.
Waiting for a perfect understanding as to identify the sex.
Help appreciated

I just recommend waiting for Cichla to get larger and more mature. The hump on the head is always telltale for the males. Females lack the hump. My 18" male Intermedia got it's hump at around 12".
