    Re: red devil male or female

    From what I know looking under the "skirts" of fish it kind of looks male to me from this angle!

    I could be wrong and have been before... but I cant see eggs coming out of that from this picture so I go male. (it is also a little hooked which is usually male)

    I believe Red Devils are easiest to sex by the shape of there Dorsal and pectoral fins. Long and flowing to a point is male. More rounded at the tip is a female.
