cool, my biggest male is about 3.5 inch now, and fed up nice and plump since the photos from when i got him. i tend to notice aswell that more males tend to carry the broken line gene than females, anyone else notice this? my male has broken line gene and another large male i am hopefully getting has also got broken line gene, one of my slightly smaller fish that i suspect of being male also shows this gene. i dont have a problem with it (some dont like it), infact adds character to the fish and makes it easier to tell them appart, kind of like their own fingerprint i guess...

Hi,
she is definately female, she is my Alpha female in the tank and has had 4 spawns since October, next one is due in a couple of weeks. The photo was an old photo of her. When I posted it on here everyone said she was male, since I have added more Zebs to the tank it has been proven that she is definately female! Here she is with the smaller female in there little shelves.
I know now that you really can't be 100% on what sex you have, I even thought that she was a male until she spawned.
Thanks Tracey.

A Few Zebs!
Hi Tracey, great to see those pics of your females and maybe give people some hope that they actually have Hairy females and not males.I have a fish just like your large female, a large fish that i was sure was a female, but recently she has started turning a little hairy so not so sure now.
Thanks Al
Thanks Al
