More to Sex

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!).

More to Sex

Post by Raul-7 »

Well I finally managed to get four more Zebras (to add to my lowly two) from a friend of mine and I would like to know people's opinions on their sex. :)

Image

My Opinion (L to R)
1. Male
2. Male
3. Female
4. Female

I have no other pictures of them as I still do not have them yet. :oops: But the original picture is much bigger (2022 x 1288) and actually shows details such as the facial region, maybe you can zoom in and it won't distort or resize it in photoshop.

Hi

If tank bred and all from the same brood, then I would say 1 is a female.

If not then I would agree mmff, there is so much variation in this fish and until they breed, I really can't tell.

Thanks everyone! :D

They're all unrelated and are about the same age. In the bigger picture you can actually see the two on the left have much longer ontonodes.
