Kartoon Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Howdy LeysonThey look identical to my Hongi. I have dark sorroundings for my guys so they are dark like in the pics you provided. Hope that helpsCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyson Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks kartoonDo you know roughly what size they are sexable, as they all seem to flash to the lighter blue colour when there displayingcheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoon Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yeah i can normally tell around the 5 cm mark. My males tend to flare up and get a really nice orange on their fins when they display to each other. Those 3 up top look like males showing off to each other. What size are they at the moment?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyson Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 HiThey are about 6 cm, so looks like i got 4 boys, not a good start for breeding lolthanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoon Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 No worries dude... I have a couple of young Hongi left over from my last batch if your interested none of them have shown any male characteristics yet and they are sitting at about 4cm at the moment.

FullyYellow Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Should aim for the stunning Red Top Variety mate they look absolutely stunning! Seen a few aquariums stock them now as well (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyson Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well i had a look at them today and the one to the left in the top pic is holding, one of the others is now in 'male' attire all the time and there is at least one more smaller female that was holding last week, so maybe im ok for now untill i work them out properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
