Male or Female?

[Justice]

Anyone care to venture a guess as to the sex of these 2 Discus?

Sorry for poor photo quality pictures were taken with my cell phone as I can not find where my Granddaughter lost my cameras charger cord.:(

No clue, its pretty hard to tell until they start makin babies. Then its kinda obvious.

My guess for these discus are female. I maybe wrong..
if paired up and spwan..then :)

Both males, maybe not the second fish, but the first one is. ;)

No, its the vent area and the overall build of the fish. ;)

Eddie,

You can see that close? :D

I got one for you that I'll send you a picture of later today. I can't figure s/he out.

[diamond_discus]

Agree with Eddie. Based on my breeding pairs, both of your fishes look to be male.

[John_Nicholson]

Hard to tell but I say both are male.

what are you guys looking at in the vent area to conclude males? Im not doubting, just want to learn how the masters do it

LOL, not that close Van but I can basically see the shape of the vent area. Send me a picture, I'll try to make a guess. Make sure you get a profile shot of the vent area.

This is well explained in Andrew Soh's first book. Although its not 100%, its been 100% in my case.
