Neffy Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ahh the woes of shortfin wildtypes, Im almost very certin the first one is a boy, the 2nd one i think does have more of a female shape if she is peacefull with the other girls then id keep her there.

Matt_95 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 The first one I'm pretty sure is a boy, I have no idea on the second sorry, does have a girly top line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 So we know girls can flare, and sure - they might have looked docile together cos they were a bit stressed - but I'm tipping the first one is male. The size of the gillplates are quite big - and the ventrals are also twice the size of the anal... you have some very handsome PK's (the very first shot - note the X factor scales under the belly) ...worth noting if you do breed.... but I wouldn't be putting him in the sorority. The second fish, it's hard to tell..... try him/her in the sorority - you'll soon learn if he's a bully, a submissive male, or one of the LADIEZ Goodluck!

Abby Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) sorry Neffty these two plus one other are all in QT. i seem to be lacking a heater so two (one is a DEFIANT girl, and the "gilr" of these two are containered the mans being a macho swimming between them flaring and dancing. i suppose the only thing to be 100% certian to do is take them back to the lfs tomorrow for sexing on the "girl" Edited August 15, 2011 by Abby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
