Tony, keep asking all you want!

This thread has been good for me, because I've been trying to find traits that are absolutely repeatable for 5-7" CNBG. Every time I find a coloring or marking that's consistently male or female, I'll catch an opposite sexed fish that has the same characteristics, and I have to rethink what I've thought to be an exclusive trait. That trait may be a dominant one, but not an exclusive one, and that's a reflection of my evaluation parameters, and not the fish itself.

To me at least, it's much easier to tell if a smaller CNBG has been hybridized, than determine the sex of the fish with absolute certainty.
