I have been able to sex a few different pairs using the vent method with 100% success, so I figured I would share. This method is also easier on older fish, but can be used on bigger juveniles too. First things first, feed the fish really well. The more their bellies bulge the easier it is. Then look very closely along the bottom of their belly between their two pelvic/ventral fins and their one anal fin. You will see either a single vent or two vents. These vents are very small, white, and cone or triangular shaped. Males have two vents, and females have one vent. I've found that females that are close to spawning will have a swollen vent, and can appear to be males. When I get better female pics I will replace them. http://www.advancedaquari...f-banggai-cardinalfish
