Hi lucy
I think the dorsil fins on the males are longer than the females.

 

[lucy3]

Yes, thats what i keep seeing is that they are pointed and his looks round like the girls,so now im thinking my Gunther is a girl with a boys name?poor fishy lol

Bad pet store! bad! Now i need to come up with a new name,lol

 

[lucy3]

Now i just saw a video on u tube of a male dawrf with rounded fins building a bubble nest,im confused lol, i guess if he/she ever builds a bubble nest ill know for sure lol

 

[colinquilliam1]

He is a male building bubble nests and all now and his fin is pointy now,i guess he was just to young for it to be pointy yet before
