i bought this blue throat form a lfs about 6 months ago. They told me it was a male that wasn’t colored up yet. I bought him because I wanted a smaller fish so I could watch him grow. I’ve had males in the past and he just looks like a female to me. Even his top fin looks more like a female. What is throwing me off is it does have a slight blue on the throat. But zero yellow markings. He eats spectrum pellets, pe mysis, Lrs reef frenzy and chunky, blood worms, brine shrimp and krill. If it is a female they do have another smaller male I would like to grab. What do you guys think? Sorry the pictures are tough under the lighting with an iPhone. Thanks
