mcsx Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 hard to tell multies sex but generally the female will be smaller than the male, good luck they are a fish full of character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_H Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 thanks if its a smaller one is bigger than the other but the smaller one could be a male but hopefully not. Cheers, Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 They both appear to be the same size to me and it is hard to tell their actual size given the quality of the picture, but it you might have 2 boys there. The girls are very small but again it hard to get a real scale. You are brest grabbing 6-8 IMO tht way you will get some girls unless you arereally unlucky like me. I bought 10 initally and 9 were boys and I lost girl, second time around I was a bit luckier. cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 One thing is for sure with multies they are master diggers. Your flat sandy bottom will soon be mounds of sand. They are so good to watch them dig. Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
