Would be great to have a shot from above of both fish as well.

My initial reaction is that they are both male, but it's difficult to determine from the shots provided.

I agree with Mats! Photos from above is nessisary to be sure.
I think that the first one is a male and the second one is a female, but photos from above is needed to be sure.

The first one all agree is a male. The photos of the vents and the overall shape makes me think the second is also male. Top views are the best for Pseuda's! Christoffer noticed the slight bulge on the side of the 2nd one. He might be right that it is a female. BTW, nice photos of their vents. I am still trying to take good close up photos. My regular photos of fish are not so great either!

Just saw your new post, still hard to tell but now I am thinking it is a female. A photo like the top one will answer the question.

Hi!

Yes, I thinkt it's still is a male and a female. But I agree with Jim. Clear photos from above is needed. Take a look at the catElog for L600 and have a look at Jims pair! A photo like that sould do the trick!


Very nice fishes! I would love to have L600s. They seemes to be impossible to find here in Sweden.

Cheers

You have a nice pair. They are long enough to breed but they need to gain more weight before they will be ready to spawn.

i dont have spare tank for them so for now they will have to stay in my display tank.

the female appears to be more aggresive than the male, strangely i always thought male would be more aggresive :-\
