How prominent is the black on the dorsal fins? I cant make it out. I am crossed between a socolfi or met msobo deep.

umm its dark black but its thin like on each fin the black covers half of it

it looks like this but mine has baring

ok kool thanks i thought i might be able to get more but its hard to find them or the person selling them has them at a to high price

it explains why it is so agressive is it male or female?

The males and females are hard to tell apart, the females sometimes lack the egg spots.
