You decide..

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!).

I might have a go at some underside shots this evening.
It's not an illusion, it just looks like one.

refering to the first picture..

I would say the one on the far left is definately a male..

The one second closest to the left, possible female, thrid accross male, and I owuldn't like to hazard a guess at the young one. They ar eall good looking fish.


If you can get some photos side on, and close ups of the perctorial fins it might be easier.

I guess one male and 3 female....judging soley on the thickness of the pelvic fins. I usually look at the overhead shape, but it's hard to tell unless they are all pictures from overhead. I'm just a beginner, so don't take my word.
