As what I know, (others may help me out on this...lol!) even at a young age Green Terror can be sexed based on their colouring. The males will basically always have more prominent colours than the females. Adult male green terrors develop a cranial hump on the top of their head and may have more pointed anal and dorsal fins. Males also grow larger the females. I've also read that when they reach 3-4 inches, try to see the anal opening. Males have v-shaped and females have u-shaped. They said, this is more accuratein telling sexes but i haven't really determined the sex of a cichlid usingthis method...lol!
