I thought I'd let the pros have a go at sexing these The first three may be too small at 1.75", but it's worth a try anyway. The others are, 2.25", 2.25" and 2.5" respectively.

Thanks for any help

Come on Guys.... Nothing like a bit of a challenge.

OK, I'll start the ball rolling so that you can laugh at my predictions.

Due to the age I am basing these purely on Pectorial fin shape, something I am becoming more and more convinced can identify the sex of the fish.

So...here it goes.

1 - Male
2 - Female
3 - Male
4 - Male
5 - Female
6 - Female

Rob,

Can you have a go sexing mine on the previous post - I won't hold you to it, promise!!

Thanks for the help Rob I was pretty stumped with these guys because of the lack of interopercular odontal growth, I'm not too hot at just using body/fin shape for IDing yet. Nevertheless, it's good to hear that there's possibly a nice ratio in this group.
