Left-Female - Right-Male It is difficult with these pictures. Can you get non blurry shots of the pecs?

Really hard to tell! They both have good bodies. Males tend to be brighter when they are tosai? If you are buying, it will be a crap shoot. Both fish have nice shiro and good kohaku patterns.

My Apologize, this is the best picture I have. btw, I have the same feeling that left is female and right is male by looking at the body structure. Let's take these as a discussion for the body conformation. How do we select a good body conformation in Tosai? I am new to this hobby i.e. since yesteryear, and enjoy reading thru most of the thread here. But when came to the body conformation, the more I read, and the more confuse I have. Anyone wish to kick the ball first?

No...no plan of getting. But these two have caught my eyes in term of their pattern and body. Yes, the shiro is pure.

Males tend to have a different shape and the leading ray is larger.

Male or female? I'm not testing you, I just don't know on this one.

Female pecs tend to be smaller and rounder, so to speak, and males are larger (longer?) and usually pointed.
