Teamsherman Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I dont want to sound like a know it all, but id advise that your mate has the red devil sexed by a experienced fish guru as i have a red dev which i have been under the impression it was a male for the last 7 months but when i took it in to have the sex confirmed i was told it was a female. Plus the day before i had it sexed i bought a female so they could mate but all they did was fight, thats when i had my doubts and the next day i had it confirmed my beloved male was actuallly a little female. So i took the new one back and swapped it for a confirmed male and they are getting along fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon_Lord_Tia Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 mmmmmm well ill pass the message on might have to try venting it oo for maleoO for female right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcichlid Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I think your friends 'male' Red Devil is probably a female and possibly egg bound and trying to expel her eggs.I also think that the so called nuchal hump supposedly being restricted only to males is crap - I've had mature female Black Belts and Synspillum with pronouncedhumps give birth to fry. The nuchal hump sounds like something Axelrod came up with.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 OK, just to show you how pointy Central American girls fins can be, here is a couple of picture's of the rear end of my definate female (has bred) salvini This has been my pet hate for quite a while, when people ask "how do I sex ..." and 50 online people say, "easy, males have pointy fins" when this is definately not the case...
