Hello,

I' took some new pictures. No female?

Thanks for helping me!

ZEBRA 1





ZEBRA 2





ZEBRA 3

Hi Apisto046,

I'm sorry to say that they look like three males to me. At least they are mature and healthy, if you can find yourself some females you will be good to go.

Good luck.

Adam

Thanks Adam!


So zebra 1 isn't a female? Rob told me it was a female

Other opinions??


Wouter

Sorry mate, I don't know what pictures I was looking at. I've put my eyeballs in now and the first zebra does indeed look like a female. I think the large sized pictures threw me.

Adam

the first zebra has the fin and head shape of a female but can't give a 100% if you have a chance to photograph her in a few months and see if she has gained some size in her belly region then you would be sure, mature females tend to have more pronounced rounder mid section and when you look at them from the top they have an oval shape while the males have a more defined arrow head or diamond shape where the head region is wider as you can see in the last two photos.

Hello,

Thanks for helping me!

But ... It put my pictures also on a German L046 forum.

All people on that German forum are 100% sure all three zebras are male

Is there really a good change zebra one is a female?

Thanks again.

Here's Zebra1 in a smaller size. Might be easier to get a good overview of body shape this way Hope you don't mind Apisto46!



It does look like a male to me as well.

But I've been wrong before!!

im thinking Male also

Thanks McEve, I don't mind.

So I have to look for some females or at least one.


Wouter
