m0oks Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Looks like females to me. Dont't they start breeding when they are 18months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricyellowz Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 They look like girls but can you get any shots of them underwater so their bristles would stand up if they had any. Thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conure3 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 They look like girls but can you get any shots of them underwater so their bristles would stand up if they had any. Thanks, Ben I would put my money on a girl,as all ready said hold it by the tail under water and see if any bristtles come out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 G'day I reckon they are all boys and I will happily buy all of them off you. Some water shots would be better as we can see any bristlies forming. Girls may have two bristles out of the front of their lips and also one on either side of their head. As they age sometimes they may have "hairy lips", but never up onto the "nose". cya Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishrocks Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 looks like girls to me. i bought 7 pepps at 7-9cm and atm 2 are definite male and the rest are females. pretty funny since the seller thought most would be males. u have a fine female there.

dempsey Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Females to me. Im assuming the 2nd pic and the last 2 are the same fish. they look like good quality. underwater shots would be good but, count the spots. females have 1 hundred and 35. just jokes all, dont do that!..

dempsey Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 1st one's a bit difficult to say. fairly confident on the 2nd one being a female. What size are they? Ive grown up a few batches, to watch what happens. Its not easy to say, all the signs can point at females..... then BOOM. A head full of bristles almost over night, @ 8-9cm or so. When you'd think you can say for sure what they are. So Id suggest, watching their actions in the tank. Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 G'day Can you get a few side on shots? Or are their any bristles going up the bridge of the nose? If there are bristles then they are boys. It is still possible that they are girls, but I had a closer look at one of your earlier shots and there seems to be a small bristle going up the bridge of the nose. (who knows the correct term for this??? ) So anyway. Side on pics and also they length of the fish please. cya Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
