L14 sexing

Post by stuby »

I have some L14's I need sexed. To me it looks like a pair but I'd like to see what you all think! Smallest of the two first..... around 11" TL.

First one looks male. Second could be female, but not in breeding condition. But don't trust me there xD

Nice Fish!! If I ever get a Tankl big enough, I would like to keep some as well. Do you see them a lot or do the hide most of the time?

Thank you! When I first got them they where out and about all the time..... drop some food in and they where on it right away. Now that they are fat and happy they hide a lot more. I can always see them and the smaller ones doesn't cave up very often so I can always get a good look at him.... the other two are almost always in the caves and I get a good look at their tails! lol
