L 200 sexing please

Post by shep »

I just got these today. There's 3 fish, 2 pics of each fish. Sorry I couldn't shrink the second pic of each so I posted the photobucket link.

Pic#3 is aprox 18cm tl and 1 + 2 are aprox 16cm tl

the belly on #2 is very yellow.

Thanks for looking

Fish #1

I'm sorry, I just am no help with these guys yet. I have a group of both L200 and also L128 and I am sure of a few males, but really not clear whether I even have females!

Pics from above would be better!

Its helps to compare the head profile against body and fins.

The photobucket link below each pic is the same fish but from above. Would a group shot help?

Thank you.

I've read several posts where the females have a yellow belly, how accurate do you think it is? Similar to the white belly on the L260?
