Two zebra:
Fish 1 Size 6.5 cm TL


Fish 2 Size 6 cm TL

I'm really bad at this, but I'd say both females.

1st one looks alike a female. not sure on second one though due to blury photo.

Thanks for replies.
I hope they are both females.
I know that second photo is bad. I'll try to take a better photo.

New photos of the same fish.

Fish 1






Fish2








Both (Fish1 - on the right, Fish2 - on the left)

My guess would be 2 young males, but I may not be right.
Are they about 2 to 2 1/2 years old?

I have them a little more than 9 month. They came to me in a size 5 cm TL. What age they were then I don't know.

Hi AleGer

Based on the last photo I would say that one of the left was almost definately a young female. The one on the right however could prove to be a young male if it's odontodes (whiskers on its cheeks), continue to grow. Is the fish on the right quite plump form the side also?
