Tanganyikan cichlids right? so long as they are not babies and since one is a lot bigger that is a good indicator that its the male. also the males dorsal fin come to more of a point.

I believe that these cichlids are "shell dwellers" so some nice big shells will make them quite happy!

hope it helps a bit!

p.s. im not very knoledgeable about cichlids so try to find out a bit more info about sexing.

Size is the best way to tell the sex if the fish isn't too young. Brevis are monogomous, so the male should end up sharing a shell with one of the females.
