Flowerhorn / Oscar Fish / Jaguar Cichlid spawning

Males are often slimmer but larger-bodied than females and are more vibrantly colored. The dorsal and anal fins of the male are more pointed, larger and more flowing than in the female. In many species, the male will display egg-shaped markings on the anal fin known as egg spots.
Body shape and size. In general, in the wild, males in this group are larger than females. That is, if you find a pair in the wild, the male will be larger than the female. However, some females are definitely larger than some males, so size alone is not a perfect indicator. Females are also rounder, though this difference is easily masked by a belly full of food. Males may have nuchal humps (a hump on the forehead). The size and shape of the hump differs by species. In the wild only males appear to get humps, but in aquaria, females can get humps too, even fairly large ones. So the presence of a hump does not in itself identify a male.
Coloration. The coloration differences between the sexes are mostly species specific, meaning that the difference between male and female of one species will not apply to another species. For example, female convict cichlids have orange on the belly, particularly when they are in breeding mode. Males lack the orange. For many species, the female changes into her breeding colors sooner in the breeding cycle than does the male. For example, tuba (Tomocichla tuba) males in Costa Rica often don't show full expression of the breeding mask until after the fry are free-swimming whereas females display the mask at spawning.
Fin length. Males often have longer, more flowing anal and dorsal fins (the ones on the bottom and top respectively). Again there are many exceptions to this and I have seen female convict cichlids with dorsal fins that extended well past the end of the tail fin. So again, the presence of long fins does not necessarily indicate a male fish.
Oscar fish are of a type known as monomorphic fish, meaning that the male and female look exactly the same. According to Oscarfishlover.com, it is impossible to tell Oscar fish sex from a cursory physical examination in the tank because they are the same in size, shape, and color.
Male and female flowerhorn fish have differently shaped vents. A male has a V-shaped opening, a female's is U-shaped. As spawning time approaches, you may see small reproductive protruding from the vents of flowerhorns. Males have square-shaped reproductive organs, while females have triangular reproductive organs.
I appreciate you all 👍🏻✅❤ ⬇️
