Female GBR? - Aquarium Advice

Lonewolfblue · 10-09-2006, 06:45 PM

Any ideas on this GBR? It's one of my babies, but looks really different. Shaped a little different, and no pink belly. But the pelvic fins are short too. So I'm guessing female? This one is a tough one to figure out, lol.

Edit:
Well, I caught her and moved her to the 75G. And the male I had to move over there seems to have taken a very good liking to her, lol. They are close budies, lol. Now maybe I have pairs in all tanks. lol. 5 pairs total.

I'm going with female...though you are right, it does appear to be a wee bit androgynous.

it is a rather odd shape, looks more like the gold ram variety than the GBR. Technically they are the same species though, right?

And came from the same parents as the rest.
