female maybe ?

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!).

female maybe ?

Post by Edlund »

I was in germany for the discuschampionat in duisburg.I bought 5 zebras. 4 of them are around 3,5-4cm and the biggest one is litlle bigger than 5cm.I was suppose to only buy small beacuse then u can have bigger chance to get some females but the bigger one that i found looks like a female in my eyes.What do u think ?

Agree that your big zebra is a female. it is really hard to tell all of the other zebras. Maybe a picture of each zebra would be more helpful to determine thier sex. But you have one female from what I can tell.

Its no chance for sexing the other beacuse they are too small to do it.I have them i 540 liters aquarium with discus and i give them bottom tabs and dr basslers biofish food that really love.So in 8 months i gonna take som new pics with a better camera on each one i have.Total i have 10 of them :)

2.2 cm = 1 inch

5 cm = over 2 inch, yes it is over 1 year old

If the fish is F1, i have heard they can start spawning around 2.5 years. but 3 years is most definitely.
