shadoh Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 The mystery of the jewel box continues. One of my girls (Lady X) seems to be slowly sprouting. Is she a long finned female or a late blooming boy. Keep in mind the parents were veiltail x plakat. This is driving me crazy. What are your thoughts? Boy or Girl??? Before..... Tonight....

Fletch Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 What's the reactionwhen uncarded to another girl?......,.....another boy?? I would have thought girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Flaring/aggressive to male. Flaring doing the male like "dance" that they do to entice a female. I have her/him uncarded next to a female with a piece of almond leaf floating on top. Let's see if there is a nest there tomorrow. The fins are all noticeably larger than they were last week when I moved her to the other barracks with some sibling females... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neffy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 If her fins are growing longer I'm going to say boy it's always been the case for me females fins don't grow at a rate we can notice only over time On that picture f her currently I would also say a boy, just my opinion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Thanks Neffy. I'll just keep an eye on him/her over the next couple of weeks and see if there is any further development... How is your recently sprouted boy going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm thinking girl, Jarrod. I had a few that developed long pointy anals and longer than usual caudals from my last spawn. All girls! Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I have a girl that I thought was turning into a boy until she dropped eggs. Has quite long fins for a girl, pointy anal, flares and does the shimmy dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
