off topic a little, but I'd like to see a picture of your whole setup. I'm thinking of upgrading to a tank of that size, but am not sure which fish to put in. I like BP's and GT's a lot. Anyway, post a pic of it if you get a chance. Thanks
 
Those Blood parrots are huge! I didn't realize they developed the nuchal hump as they mature. I assume that one is a male.

Yeah I know. The hump just came one recently. Believe it or not the larger one if a female! I caught her laying eggs just this week! We've had these two for about six years now.
 
thats really cool! I have no idea if my BP is a male or female. Its only about 3 inches now, but nowhere near as thick as yours are. So, the one with the hump is a female?

Yep. I have no idea about the other one.
 
Thats a really nice tank. I would love to get one that size to put my wife in. Did I ever say I married a mermaid?

It's a big help when I have fish questions.
 
Well, if there is a dot or multiple dots on the underbelly fin, isn't it a male?

So, check the farthest fin back on its belly for any dots. These are used in breeding (the female bites, thinking they are eggs, triggering fertiliztion).
 
(That is, if it's a mouth breeder)
