Sexes?

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!).

Sexes?

Post by alfon76 »

I just got these 2 gorgeous individuals and was wondering if the picture is good enough for ID. For some reason I have a feeling I have a pair but am basically wanting to believe that and have no proof of it.
What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance,
Ivan

alright mate,

the one on the right is 100% male

the smaller one on the left is either a young male or female, feed it up and it will be easier to tell!

sorry i cant be more conclusive - someone more experienced might be able to help you out better.

beautiful fish!

good luck

Thanks a lot. Hopefully the smaller one is a female then. If not, no boggie as they are still good looking fishes.

I would agree with Andrew.

Get the well fed and fattened and post some new photos in a month or so's time.

I guess 2 males it is. Seeing how males are so prevalent it appears pointless to try and get females, huh? It's not as if the sellers would sell them separately anyway.
Oh well, I will enjoy these guys anyway as they are simply incredible. Thanks for the replies all.
