I have noticed some differences between my male and female.
Apart from the volume of 'Hair' I have noticed that the Male is of a darker colour and appears to have a much squarer jaw. I feel it would be difficult to spot this on individual fish but side buy side its apparent.

Re: T. Baileyi sexual differences.
I don't think its an indication of the sex, as mine are the opposite.

Re: T. Baileyi sexual differences.
I could be wrong and have them the wrong way round. Less hairy does seem to be in charge.

Re: T. Baileyi sexual differences.
That would make sense if that is the female, they usually think they are in charge.
