Vlamingi Tang Female or Male?

[1UCKY]

Hello. I recently aquired a 6-7" Vlamingi Tang. I was wondering if there is a way to tell whether it's a male or female? Picture attached.

It's to early to tell. The fish still doesn't have a lot of it's adult colors, the large nose bump and long streamers. It's only about 1/4 and it's full adult size.

I added another pic. It's already showing the beginning of streamers on it's tail.

This fish is still a Juv and you're not going to be able to determine it's a male or female until it gets much much larger. Also male and female have streamers.

Thanks for your input!

That fish will get huge! I had one and it outgrew my 120. Sorry i cant answer your question though.

Right now, he/she is in a 180. I will be upgrading the tank to a 300-500G in a few months after I put my condo for sale.
