Hi,

Could you give me an idea of the size/age a fish needs to reach before it is sexable?

Thanks

Nautrally older and bigger is always better.


I recently got a bunch in at 2.25". It was very hard to tell male from female.


If I had to guess they start to show signs as 2.25-2.5".

Then we agree :)

But i think its easier to put them in the aquarium with alot of caves,
then the males uasually lay in caves and the females will hide under rocks and wood or what else your decorating with.
