Sexing L128

Post by Cristoffer Forssander »

Hello!

I finally hope that I got a trio of L128s.
My big male is no question. He is 20 cm TL.

And here is the two "females" (I hope so). They are still a bit small 13- 15 cm TL.

Any suggestions! I'm very glad for any help I can get!

Difficult to say. The head is still quite wide at the back on the smaller fish, and the pectorals are quite sturdy. I'm absolutely not saying they are NOT female, but I'm also not sure they are, if that makes any sense.
