Hi,
I just realized that both Pseudacanthicus breeding articles contain the same picture of Pseudacanthicus sp. "L 160".
However, in the one on P. leopardus and L 114, it is titled a "gravid female",
while in the new one on P. spinosus, it is termed "male" (as does the catelog-entry for that picture).
Unless there is an unprecenced change in sex of Pseudacanthicus, both can´t be right, I think..
Cheers, Sandor

Sandor, I think you are right, and I think the picture in P. spinosus article should be called "female".

Hi Mat, the picture in the article is definitely a Male, a fat and well build Male.MatsP wrote:Sandor, I think you are right, and I think the picture in P. spinosus article should be called "female".

For the picture of a gravid female, here is it:
" This is not the female that had spawn before. She has a shorter pectoral fin and an unattractive (smudgy) body markings as compared to those distinctive spots on the Male."

Re: Gender of L160 in Breeding Articles
What happened here was that the image of a gravid P. spinosus female used in the first article (Breeding P. leopardus) was moved when I added the second article but not changed in the first article. I have fixed that now.
