Some Close pictures to Sex

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!).

Some Close pictures to Sex

Post by adrianhaslett »

OK finally I've bit the bullit and took my Zebra Plec out of the tank to take some pictures, I resisted this in the past as i'm worried howe much this stresses him out. But here we are. Male or Female please ?.

Thanks for the replys folks. 1 male then. Was kinder hoping it was a female but there you go. Can you tell rough age by looking at them ?.

Was realy hoping to get 5 more young zebra plecs this year in hope to breed them, but i'll have to see how money goes. Noticed that most of the breders are far away from me in Essex Engalnd and if I did buy any I would like to have seen them in there home and paid cash on collection.

We will se how things pan out later this year.
