With some species, both males and females are near identical (for example, acei, demasoni, yellow labs, calvus, etc), while in other species the genders have completely different color patterns and gender determination is obvious (auratus, kenyi, peacock cichlids, msobo, etc). With these they all start out looking the same and the males undergo color transformation as they mature. Need more info about your fish.
