Eaglebarret Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I have several Bn at about 6-8cm, There are one or two that are males, but the others i am not sure of. One of them has 2 bristles coming of the front and thats about it, they are not long curved ones like a male has, so would this be a female?? or a male that is just taking a long time to grow a beard At this size should the males be quite obvious?? and do the females get bristles? I was having a look at the planet catfish site and the females appear to get a fair few bristles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kribbie Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 It will be easier to solve this question if you can provide some pics of your fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
