I'm in two minds as to whether my green terror is male or female. It's tail fin is the colour of a male, but it's lacking a humped forehead and doesn't seem as metalic as the pictures of the other males I've seen. It's about 5 inches long.

What do you reckon?

link does not work

noctual bumps do not always grow as quickly as that

Green terror

Does this work?

looks a little to bright to be a female,
juvi male possible.
How old is it?

 

[jahouli]

I've had it about 5 months, and it was about 2 inches when I bought it.

 

[Zawiha]

yeh defffo seems a juvinile male.
Not all terrors are the same so dont worry

 

[~T~]

I would say female.

 

[jahouli]

Yeah...I'm starting to think female again now. It depends which photos I look at. I wanted to give it a mate but I still don't know what to get.

 

[Zawiha]

After a closer inspection it has the body shape of a female,
Lacking the nucal hump, but then again it could be juvinile.
But the colours are telling me male,
females are usually quite dark, whilst males are brighter,
And the colours on its body seem quite bright.

Have you got any more pictures for us to compare?

 

[jahouli]

S/he looks the same in all the pictures, but not as metallic in real life.

I've been comparing him/her to photos I've found on the web. Some females I've seen are really uncolourful but others look identical to mine. I guess I'll leave it a few more months till it matures fully.

What do you reckon?

If its dorsal tracer reaches the tip of its cordal then its male,the female often has no dorsal tracer at all and turns very dark in colour when aggrivated

What do you reckon?

100% female fully grown and she will turn very dark in colour when introduced to a mature male of similar size.
