monitron Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi everyone, I have 15 Zebra Long Pelvic that are about 5 months old and would like some help sexing them. I am pretty sure that two of them are definite males i.e. larger, more colour, pointy fins. I want some tips in picking the females. Can somebody please help me. Thank you.

MikeWs Fish Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Females usually have 1 eggspot. Males will have more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeWs Fish Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 males colour females stay grey. The easisest way to tell is the eggspot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilli Powder Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I can't agree with the egg-spot method as two of my females have two egg spots. One larger and the other smaller right at the edge of the anal fin! I would say to look at the coloring as even the sub dominant male's color is different to the grey color of the females. Look closely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
