hey community,

its now time for my l114 sexing!
i cleared my tank today and cought the bigger ones to make pictures of them.
the total length from 22-14cm.
i start with the biggest ones and come to the end to the smallest l114.

i think the most are easy to determine, but there are 1-2 tricky ones, i think.

l114.1:


l114.2:


l114.3:


l114.4:


l114.5:


ty for sexing!

Based on the blurry pictures, first one is male. Second is female. Third, looks kinda female. Fourth, a deformed (runt) female. Last could be male.
Several specimens look pretty odd to me. One is snubbed-nose while others seem to have disproportionate heads size compared to their bodies. Only the first two look pretty nice and normal.

1 male, 2 female , 3 male, 4 female, 5 male(?). If you can take pics from side when fins open/extended it would be easier. But i'm sure you have both sexes in your colony.

hey,

thanks fpr sexing the l114.
futher pictures are not possible cause they are already back in tank.

why do you guys think that #4 is a female?
to me, #5 seems to be more likely a female than #4 cause of the smaller head.

#1 is 100% a male, no doubt.
#2 is 100% a gravid female.
#3 is the fattest l114 i have. its belly is really round, but from the head it could be a male, or not?

here are two more pics of the #3:
