I've asked for more pictures, but apparently it doesn't want to be taken pic's of ;) Actually, I guessed L253.... can I get a negative on that?

It was sold as L146 - which it of course is *not*. It looks a bit like a Scobiancistrus to me though....

I agree with Silurus, the dorsal fin doesn't look like a L001....

The tummy is spotted as well - except for a small part which is light/seethrough in color.

Apparently the fish's spots aren't as brightly colored as they are on this picture, they are a paler beige color.

Thanks both

I have a batch of L046, aproximate development stage day 18 according to this link: development I know they are not ready to start eating before the youlk sack is gone, but would be glad to hear from somebody that successfully reared this fish that knows aproximately what age they're ready to feed ...

That's very interesting Anders! I haven't heard this before, but it fits with what I beleive to be the numbers of each sex now after having observed them during the spawn and after. Thank you for your suggestion, I'll check and see if it fits with other Zebra groups as well :) I apreciate you ...

For those interested. Nr four is a female. I now have 5 days old fry from nr four and five, which is the male

Thank you Discusion and Zebraplec for taking the time and interest

I'm not asking anybody to commit to an answer - I'm only asking for an opnion. If I thought that there was a failproof way of telling I wouldn't have needed to ask for others opinions. An opinion or two, like Zebraplec was kind enough to offer, would be greatly apreciated if anybody would like to ...

I can see there's a lot of people checking the pictures. Is there really nodbody else that has an opnion about the sex of these Zebra's? Did I fail miserably in my attemt of showing each of them in a way that would allow them to be identified?

The numbers on the first page corresponds with the numbers on the compare all page. Nr4 is nr4 on the compare all photos as well. It is number4 and 6 I'm hoping are females :) Nr8 is the youngest, I can track it's history back 3 years. The others are older, but nr8 has gained a lot in size during ...

Hi all, I know you're probably sick of these requests as there's plenty of information on how to sex a zebra available, but after having had my Zebras for a year now, I'm still not sure if I have a female in my group. I find it very hard to see the difference between a female and a submissive male ...

As they grow, you can also monitor behavior. Once settled in, males will spend practically the entire day closeted in their caves, while the females tend to cruise around a bit more. If there are empty caves about, we keep one per fish in the tank, I will usually find females perched among the ...

I also am trying to identify the gender of my Zebras. I have 5, about 3" long, so they should be large enough to identify. I've read about the more pronounced odontodes on the males, and a more curved pectoral fin in the females, plus a heaver body in the female, but these would all depend on the ...

Hi Janne, I was looking at L- 316, but the tail looks completely different. Can that be a matter of age? The one I have is 7 cm including the tail, but that in itself wouldn't be an indication of age, as it would depend on how large this specie can grow I suppose. BTW, the color of the fish is not ...

Which one do you think it is?

I bought a fish labelled L318 New Zebra. I seem to be unable to find any information about this fish, and wondered if it's correctly identified.
