The belly/abdomen is the key for females... gravid females will have a swollen, pink/red belly, while a non-conditioned female will still have some color (sometimes an orange/salmon pink color) without a pattern on the edges of the scales. You will notice that the fish have a black edge on most of the scales, but females have less of that pattern on their belly. Hope you have a pair. Hi Chris,
