Male* or female please let me know

Thats an antennata, considered a medium bodied lion, and you can not definitively sex them by sight. When full grown around 7", males will be slightly larger with a more broad, square head. That is not usually an easy fish to keep, for info and tips on their care, click my name and "find all threads".

So we can’t know what sex it is yet ?

Even full grown sexing would only be an educated guess, In groups you could see the subtle differences between males and females, but viewing individuals it's really impossible.

I was expecting a fuzzy. I wouldn't call antennata a dwarf, although smaller than volitan and others. The Dendrochirus spp are what most of us consider dwarves...semantics maybe.
