Hello,
I have a L46 a year ago and tried to find him a partner.
I bought 1 L46's and i'm curious what gender they are.
As you can see they just had a fight.
Maybe you can help me.
Thank you.

Hi there, I'd say you've got 2 nice males.

Nice fish, but they do look a sorry state
Were they like this when you got them, if so then you should ask for a refund or some replacements. Hope they get back to their normal selfs and perhaps you'll be a female in the future? Keep us posted on how things get along

Do you have enough caves and hiding places for them?

they dont look that bad?! nice and plump. in my experience when 2 males fight they're battle scars look worse than they actually are and soon fade with a little time and an adequate tank with enough caves and place to hide. my female had been in a fight just before i got her and she spawned after a month, so it cant effect them that much. im glad i didnt ask for a refund anyway!

Hi SGo, Why did you buy 2 males? No wonder they keep fighting over the one female! I would try to find another female to balance them out, and then maybe they'll stop fighting and get along together
Hope things get better soon and good luck! Dawn

Males have a ranking system bonsi - normally they can work it out themselves...

Hi sgoerdin, welcome to the forum!
Looks like you have three males now. or do you have four fish? The battlescars don't look too bad at all. Don't be surprised if the lines grow back in a different pattern

I had 1 (3 years ago, now about 10cm). It looked like a male. Then (6 mo nths ago) I bought 5 infants in search for a female (now about 6cm )Now I thought I bought an grown "female" (2weeks about 10cm).
