Check out this site for some pics and info on venting cichlids. It's my go to site for helping tell the difference. Just be aware that you may need to wait until a female has actually spawned at least once.

This is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm definitely going to be using it for future ID of cryptic males!

You are welcome! I keep this article book marked as it comes in handy for these type of questions. Pics always work better for me!

Just an update....I believe he is in fact a male. His color has already improved by quite a bit. He now has a bright blue face and a blue/red body.
