John,
Yes, it is a reliable trait to differentiate the sexes. These fish
have slightly triangular tails and look for a small white streak on the dorsal
and ventral edges of the tail corners...they are the females. I see the
wild green forms regularly...I always go back to this species and Keyholes every
few years.

Hello Vinny Is this really a reliable trait for sexing
them?? A local pet shop had about 8 really nice 2 inchers and i could
not tell the difference sex wise for the life of me and i've always wanted
to try these guys. Now when you say both forms, i have never
ever seen the green form in a shop anywhere, do they ever get around or are
they really an oddball lucky catch if you do see them?
