How do you recognise male and female emperor snakehead?

Male and female emperor snakehead can be distinguished by their size and coloration. Males are typically larger and more vibrantly colored, often displaying more intense patterns, while females tend to be smaller and have a more subdued coloration. Additionally, during the breeding season, males may exhibit more pronounced features, such as a larger dorsal fin and more prominent markings. Observing these characteristics can help in identifying their sex.
