Sorry, no pics this time...Ha ha I fool you. I just wanted to share how my luck goes...I ordered 7 of these guys hoping for 2 males and 5 females...I'm 99.9% sure I have 7 males. What is ironic is I need a male Kyoga and can't seem to get one to save my life. I have 4 females and 2 of my new one's that are unknown so I could have a male but come on what are the chances of getting 7 males and no females. Rare Dave even said he hand picked them other then the 2 males he said he looked for no blue showing in fins and yellow anal fins which inthese guys usually represents a female. For those of you that don't know these guys are hard to pick females because they are also piebald so the only things you have to go on are the males are the only ones that get the blue and red coloring in the fins, therefore when no color is present it could just be a young or subdominent male.

Rare Dave might find better results isolating a few he suspects. Like what 8 said, putting a submissive male in with maybe some known females would help find out if the submissive male is really a submissive male or not. I think this would help with his accuracy. Isolating groups out and see who ends up displaying male colors or not. You might want to try this yourself and see if you can confirm that you have 7 males and not maybe 4 males and three very colorful females etc...
