    I just received my order from iBluewater (very good customer care by the way I'd recommend them all day) and while acclimating I was trying to figure out if this was a male or female, it seems to have 6 or 7 stripes indicating it could be male, the head is comparably bulkier than my females as well, but the fins aren't the length of a males. All help appreciated.

    Sorry for bad pics, I tried to minimize light to keep it calm.
