Any females in there...

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!).

Any females in there...

Post by Plastic Mac »

OK these are pics of three zebs i picked up a few weeks ago down near brighton..Hopefully the pictures are of a better quality then the last lot I took :D
Unfortunately it was only the first one which was happy enough to sit in the middle of the container while I took pics...the other two just wanted to cram themselves into a corner and hide...

Thanks for your input :D ...I know there not the best photos....I just think each time i have them out of the tank they must be getting so stressed that i rush taking the pictures just to get them bakc in the tank..

cheers for the input Neo...even if you are the bringer of bad non-female news! :D

I'm not so sure though. i'm no expert in sexing fish but i think there's enough differences between all 3(like the curve of the pectoral fins) which to me must mean at least one of them is a rabid horny female...or maybe it's just me refusing to accept the truth of the matter....that I have a big gay colony!
