It has been felt like a decade, since I set up my L46 breeding tank until I finally be able to find 5pcs. They are from 2 different sources, #1-4 are from LFS and sold to me as wild caught, I thought I have 2 male and 2 female. #5 is a trade from my friend, which I believe is a female. However, after they are release to the tank and now I have a closer, they all look like FEMALE to me.... :cry:

Please help me, thank you very very much.

5 cm. is really to small to sex them.
Another half year with good food and clean water they will be definetely sexable.

Thank you, however, I am living in Hong Kong, space are pricy, so they are staying in 60cm 80L tank. Afraid that they may not have enough space to grow up.

BTW, I am a bit confuse in how to sex them. Some said female has a rounder body and more pointed head shape, some said the other way around. What is the most obvious sign to look for?

Thank you very much, all.
