2in would be cutting it close. They may be able too, but I would expect them to be a bit larger.

Also it can be difficult to sex fish at a small size. Are you sure this is a female? Do you see any other fish hanging around with her?

If the difference is in size then stands a good chance that they are a male and female.

I've noticed that with some of my juvenile fish (N. brichardi, N. multifaciatus, N. brevis) that even though they are going though the actions, it takes them some time before they actualy get to the point that they are producing fry.
