Uhmm.. Hi there

[alLexX]

It's the mean look in the eyes lol. There really is no way to tell, I'm just going on my own experience and the fact that no one ever (I mean never ever) has a good word to say about them. They don't even eat algae after a certain age/size so they are all round a bit rubbish IMO/E

not entirely,i like mine... apart from the fact he killed a goldfish. but the goldfish had made me mad(picked on a couple fish) so i let it slide.he is pretty agressive though...

 

[maddybrat]

But tetras are fast... Then again so is he/she , still trying to figure out how to sex them.

 

[Ickletas]

Mine is a nightmare. I mean I don't hate him, he's a fish, but I seriously think that the other guys in the tank are thinking about vigilanteing his backside

 

[maddybrat]

How do you sex them?

 

[Ickletas]

Not a clue, I just call mine he but I have no idea

 

[maddybrat]

I kinda want it to be a she... Lol

 

[Ickletas]

Sexually mature females are noticeably thicker-bodied than males but it is impossible to accurately sex young fish. When in spawning condition adult males are said to develop noticeable tubercules on the snout.

[maddybrat]

It's mature. I
Adopted it.

 

[maddybrat]

Here it is!

 

[Ickletas]

How big is it, they get up to 11", mine isn't really mature at 4 1/2"

 

[maddybrat]

6"

 

[Ickletas]

And to be fair how would you know if it's deeper bodied if you don't have another to compare it to?

 

[maddybrat]

Idk.... Hm

 

[maddybrat]

What would you suggest

 

[Ickletas]

I don't think it really matters whether it's male or female to be honest. It doesn't have any bearing on their aggression.

 

[maddybrat]

I wanted to name it lol.

 

[Ickletas]

Then we'll say it'a a girl and call her Shirley lol

 

[maddybrat]

I named her Esmeralda

 

[maddybrat]

I love that name!

 

[Ickletas]

The bells! The bells!
