Male or female???
In order...
#1










#2



#3







Any ideas?? Or still too small? #2 has been getting darker which makes me want to think he's a male but...

 

[em_witt]

Theyre about 1.5-2 inches

I'm pretty sure number 3 is a male because of all the red orange coloration on it's throat fish number 2 looks female because it has no orange red coloration.

 

[em_witt]

#1????

 

[em_witt]

So red orange coloration means male and none means female???

 

[em_witt]

Their getting a "blue" on 2 of them! Is this the males??

 

[em_witt]

Pics!! I forgot!!



Top fm is the "male"!!!

 

[josh7]

I'm pretty sure that top one is male.

 

[em_witt]

That means I have 2m and 1f!

 

[josh7]

I would rehome 1 male then preferably the more aggressive one.

 

[em_witt]

How about I rehome the 1 that doesn't breed with the female first!?

 

[josh7]

That works to it doesn't matter but I would choose to rehome one now so no fights break out in between the males.

 

[em_witt]

I'll do that. Do they breed like convicts?(a lot!!!)

 

[josh7]

Quite a bit but not as much as convicts plus they are less aggressive than cons

 

[em_witt]

Didn't kno that...

 

[josh7]

That's why I like them better than convicts plus I think they have better coloration.

I never really liked convicts (or firemouths) until I recently acquired some yellow cons, they are beautiful. I'd like to get some honduran red points also at some point.

 

[em_witt]

Red point convics?!?! Wow id like some of those!

 

[em_witt]

Can u post some pics of ur uellow cons? And and red if/when u get them!
