Sex my L200 H. Subviridis

Post by AndersB »

I got a group of 8 Hemiancistrus subviridis..

To me they are difficult to sex.

I moved them to a new tank today, and took a few pics of them in the bucket I moved them in.

I know for sure there are one female - and the largest of them is a sure male.

How many females do you see?

Best regards :)

Thanks - they are very difficult. Maybe they need more size. Even thoug they are about 14-17 cm

I agree with @Jools about 2. Possibly a 3rd? I was mostly looking at pelvic fin shape.
