any guesses as to this being a female or male? i have caught several the same size that already have a helmet head and the classic coppernose. to me these bg seem to display their coppernose more than the ones i had in the other pond, even now i can see it when they come to feed. i thought it was more noticeable during the spawn. i sure hope these get that dark purple/ almost black color as my other ones did. i'm thinking this ones is a female.
