Sex my Queen Arabesque, Please!

Post by SoCalDiscus »

This is my wild caught queen arabesque. I picked it up probably 2.5 years ago from All Happy along with a couple leopard cactus plecos and an adonis that had all come in together. I couldn't get 'her' to lay flat on the bottom, so.... Let me know if you need more photos.

I would suspect it would be quite hairy if it were a male. Therefore I would say female...

Thanks for the input. :) Any thoughts on body shape or anything? I've been looking around, and have my thoughts on the matter. But, given that its going up for sale, I'd like to be able to sell it with some idea of what it might be.

Body shape also looks female.
