Please Help Me Sex This German Blue Ram. Thanks!

[ashlerbam]

This Ram came from my LFS. I was told it was a Male when I purchased him/her. We are looking to make a pair of these for the tank. I am having doubts as to what sex it is from my readings online. Below are a couple pics.

Not sure on the age. But its about 1" to a 1.5" not counting the tail.

 

[pumh]

looks male to me, this is a female, yours doesn't appear to have the stripes on the pelvic fins

Here is another photo.

but its belly is pinkish and if you look at it's black spot, it has blue showing through, also the dorsal fin seesms to be rounded (all traits of a female). just my thoughts

 

[jacko32]

if it was a male at 1" it would have an elongated second ray on its dorsal fin which it doesnt so in my opinion its a female

Thanks for all the reply's and input. After doing all the reading about the sexing of GBR's. I was leaning to a female myself. These reply's are just pushing me more that way.

Also that is a great photo Jacko. Thanks for posting that.
