BigRock Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) shots were taken only an hour after they were put in the 8ft after 2hours stressing in the bucket,,..never kept moba b4 just burundi but these dont look washed out to me at all,....bought em today, only small (around 15cm) and only 3, all good coz he caught out the smallest, good chance of 3 girls here maybe? atleast two, will get another few from diff lines so they should produce nice moba fry if im lucky Edited May 22, 2012 by BigRock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRock Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) thats what i originaly thought but im almost 100% its 2 male 1 female now that ive been able to view them for a day settled and take proper note at their features, in the 3rd and fifth picture you can see the short pelvic fins on one of them and the other two have much longer,..plus they continue to fight eachother and gently dominate the one with the short pelvics,my previous experience with frontosa was that the females always had shorter fins and the pelvic and anal fin is a dead give away,.......i'll let these go in their own tank and post the sex once known for sure but the shorter pelvics and the behaviour is telling thestory,im certain its 2male 1female but we'll see ; ,....check out how long the dorsal and anal fin is on the one in the 4th pic, i reckon thats a male for sure Edited May 21, 2012 by BigRock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
