Absolutely, although in some strains the females have no colors while in others they look like a faded male.

Two of mine stalking a shrimp:
Is that male and female? The body shape looks different on the 2. The left looks long and thin and the right looks thicker. Or is it just the angle of the picture?
Female on the right.

I think the one on the right is just getting more food. Here's an excerpt from an article on Dario dario,
" This species is very easy to sex but often only males are traded.
Females are smaller, less colourful (they do not have any red or blue pigmentation on the flanks and only indistinct bars or none at all) and possess a noticeably shorter, stumpier-looking body profile then males."

The fun fact about my colony is they were tank bred by this dude who neglects his tanks for months apparently. These guys were discovered during a teardown.. who woulda thunk?? Anyways.. I'm pretty sure 4 of 6 are def. Males.. they need some more good meals though..

You need to collect and culture some cyclops to keep those guys fat and happy.

Excuse me gillie, i don't think you understand the fine art of culturing scuds to feed finicky eaters. Maybe if you'd like I could teach you sometimes?
☆☆☆disclaimer☆☆☆
I am being sarcastic! I have no idea what I'm really doing but I bought a 1 gallon tote, ordered another colony and watched 3 1/2 you tube videos!

Ha, Michigan weather
I'm only allowed to say that because a)I lived in MI for 30+ years and b)my middle daughter is at MSU so I tease her all the time about the weather!

But I did get about 2000 of the buggers and since I was already soaked and freezing I plucked some chunks of willow moss that was already forming submersed growth.
It probably wouldn't have been as bad if we didn't have this 20 mph "breeze".
