Sexual dimorphism

We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

Sexual dimorphism

Post by Cascudo »

Check out this German site:
http://www.aquarien-center.de/hypancistrus_zebra.htm

"Mannchen" means male and "Weibchen" means female.

In my opinion this picture shows well the sexual domorphism.
You can see clearly on this pictures that the female has a very steep forehead, it reminds the head of a puppy. While the male has a rather flat and round head.

Altavista does a halfway decent job of it..

Stick the address in the box and select "German to English".
It's not an illusion, it just looks like one.

I can't find the email addy for my German contact, so I guess we have to stick with the great translation above :D :D

I have some books and aqualogs with similar quality translations and that can be a real laugh :D
