ROAR99 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 got some pics of what i thought (was told) was the larger male (that was holding the eggs) looking at vent it might just b the female?? *opinions please* second hole looks to be perfectly round and quiet large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have heard of males holding eggs. But I would say female. I'm no expert but just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqc247 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Good work Rorie. Are the pics of the venting all of the same fish? or the top one is different from the bottom two? Egg colour looks ok for now, they should have hatched by now and be wrigglers, or were they not fertile? Just me, but I would be more concerened about the smaller fish and how many bars it has, looks possible 5 when should be 6, since supposed to have proven fry before....
