I was wondering if anyone has any tricks or knows how to tell the difference in male and female Firefish. I just picked up a couple wanting them to pair. While I was looking them over I noticed a difference. One had what looked like a split dorsal.

Here is a reference pic (not the actual fish)

If anyone has any experience or has read something I havent please let me know. I have read there is no way to tell, I have also read that the dorsal fins are the way to tell. I am just trying to confirm if possible.
 
Firefish are not sexually dimorphic, they look the same. The split dorsal is most likely from another fish picking at it.
