Hi,

females are bigger and broader than males. Yours have the typical shape of males.

Hi midgem,

Not wishing to sound like a teacher, but have you read the "Sexing corys" sticky at the head of the forum.

The last picture look to be all males, the middle picture the albino's look like a pair and a female normal bronze. The first piscture I would say is a female.

But aren't the first two pictures just more close-up versions of the same four fish that are in the last picture? In which case the fish clearly can't be male in one picture and female in another if it's the same fish (although you do say "Looks like", so I guess a male can look like a female or the other way around in a picture).

Different shots of the same fish can and often and do give a different perspective, hence my opening comment about the sticky.

The owner of a fish can look at all the features from different angles, we only have one fixed view.

Yes I read the sticky and to tell you the truth is that I think that I saw 1 egg on the glass but later I never found it. Thats why I collected them to try and sex them.

The problem is that I did not have any conclusions so I took some photos and posted them on this forum to check them out.
