Help sexing these zebs

Post by Dave Fingers »

Hi there. I`m new to planet catfish and was looking for a bit of help sexing these zebs. I`ve kept fish for many years and moved into plecs a few years ago and been offered a choice of 4 of these and unsure about the sex of them. Can anyone help? Also whats he best ratio, 2m 2f or 1m 3f? Will post other pic on another thread. Forgot to say all the fish are around 3 inces plus.Thanks all.
