Well I finally managed to get four more Zebras (to add to my lowly two) from a friend of mine and I would like to know people's opinions on their sex.



My Opinion (L to R)
1. Male
2. Male
3. Female
4. Female

I have no other pictures of them as I still do not have them yet. But the original picture is much bigger (2022 x 1288) and actually shows details such as the facial region, maybe you can zoom in and it won't distort or resize it in photoshop.

My guess: Male, male, female, male (From L to R)

If tank bred and all from the same brood, then I would say 1 is a female.

If not then I would agree mmff, there is so much variation in this fish and until they breed, I really can't tell.

male male female female

Thanks everyone!

They're all unrelated and are about the same age. In the bigger picture you can actually see the two on the left have much longer ontonodes.
