what do you think?

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 agree. Number 3 has a rather broad head and large pelvic fins for it to be a female.

McEve, how old and how big are they?

Mceve......if you dont mind me asking, what camera do you use to photgraph your fish? your pics always look imaculate (aswell as your fish) but whenever i try to take photos of my group at close up in a container for sexing they are always blurry ...........

Back to topic i think left tro right

F, M, F???, M

This picture was taken with a Nicon coolpix7900. I always use that camera for macro, as the coolpix 8800 has mounted the flash so that the lens cast a shadow on half the picture :shock:

If your camera has a setting for macro you'd want to use that to avoid blurry pictures.

Thanks for sharing your opinion! :)
