Obvious question: do I have a male of female zebra?
Hi everyone,
Some time ago I bought a second hand aquarium. It was, amongst others, occupied by this zebra. Now I'm wondering: is it male or female?
I hope you experts can help me, because it's really difficult to say.
By the way, in the last picture it looks like I'm holding it's tail, but I'm not!
Thanks already!

Hi rene,
it's difficult to judge from those pics, but if i look at the bottom pic at the shape of the body i would say a young male. how big is the fish??
i while back ago i read on a dutch forum that you maybe were interrested to sell the zebra. if you still are i am interrested in buying.
by the way try taking a pic from straight above the fish.
take care

Hi Paul,
I think it could well be the lighting and/or camera settings. As you can see the white stripes are more prominent in the first few pictures compared to those in the last few. But then again, the difference between these pictures may be ascribed to the fish in it's habitat vs the little box it was in when I took the last pictures.
