L134 Sexing

Post by idunno »

Hi,

I have this group for a while now, raising from fry, except the 'male'. They've been together, however, there is no sign of breeding at all.
The 3 fish have occupies their own caves, except one always hiding in drift wood even though there is an empty cave.
Could it be that the other 2 that occupying caves & I thought females are in fact males?
Thanks in advance.

The other three look female to me. Males develop obvious odontodes on the posterior body, like your "male" has.

Cheers, Eric
