Richard Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hey guys,Was just wondering how you sex these little buggers. I have 1 male and 1 female i think... The male is 13cm and the what i think is a female 9cm. I know the females dont grow as big as males but is there any other way to sex them? DD (Phenomena) and I tryed to sex them but the male and females vents looked pretty the same to the untrained eye. Theres somw little thing poking out which looks like poo.Also i was told males have a V shape anal fin. Is that correct?Here is a pic of my newly aquired female/male. can you guys tell me what you think its sex is please?What i think is MALEWhat i think is a FEMALEcheersRichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
