Hi Kasper,

Unfortunately the pictures are not in focus, so therefore cannot see the cheek odontodes/bristles or the odontodes on the leading pectoral fin, very clearly, which I mainly use for sexing zebras,that, together with body shape.
Therefore just going on body shape , I would say that No 1,2,3 and 7 are females. No 4,5 and 6 are either Males or Juvenile females.
Can be more accurate if you are able to post side pictures of the head together with pectoral fin.

Also check out my post on the attached link of 2.16 pm which gives a link to some pictures of male and female zebras, and sexing info.

1,2,5 and 6 looks like females to me, but like Des says, more in focus pictures, and pictures taken while the fish is sitting straight with fins extended from above, and closeup of the profile (cheeks, head contour and pectoral fins) would help get a more accurate guess It's hard to do though I know...

This does not mean that I think the others are males, there isn't one that I can point to and say definate male, which only means they could be both

Just my 2c worth

Are these F1's?

Hi

Sorry for the pictures.

These fish er are wildcaught.
