New Zeb, approx 2 yrs, male or female?

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!).

New Zeb, approx 2 yrs, male or female?

Post by CanadaPleco »

Hey Everyone, I am new to the forum. Just got my first Zebra, its in a 20 gallon tank all by its lonesome until I can find some more of these guys.

I was told that this one is at least 2 yrs old and wondering if it is mature enough yet to tell its sex. Please let me know what ya think.
