male?

Post by bedwetter »

Awhile back, I posted a sexing question about some L260. For some of the fish people were unsure of the sex. This is one of them: I believe it to be a male because of the odontode growth and the marbled belly (although I know that isn't always that reliable). However, it is FAT! So, is this a spiny female, or fat male?

Thanks for the help (again!)

Hi, I think it is a female if it is an adult as well. Check out this picture of a male of Barbie's that has awesome odontadotal growth...

Barbie, I just love this picture... :D :P
