Sexual dimorphism identification of Chelmon rostratus, the Copperband Butterfly,

[OrionN]

That is not a straight picture side way. The position of the pelvic fins tell me that the picture is taken from the side but also in front.
I do think it is a male. But I think he is very thin with obvious pinched dorsal area. Unless he is really eating well, I would not get him because he is so thin.

Going after the aiptasia on the clam shell and one of the aiptasia got dislodged but not quite eaten

Both are gaining weight and are very healthy, good eater. They mainly eat aiptasia now , and other fauna in the tank. I only occasionally feed them now.

I was gone for 2 weeks. The QT only get automatic pellets feeding one of the two weeks. My son was home for one week and he fed frozen and flakes twice a day when he was home. I got home yesterday and ALL visible aiptasia is GONE. I really like it. All the fishes and corals are doing great. The CBB pair is a fat as ever.

Hey @OrionN I'm thinking of trying a pair in my new tank. Would you mind sharing your oppinion on the sex of my current one. I'm thinking female but would like a second oppinion if you don't mind?
