Male or female yellow lab?

[mattlll]

Is this lab a male or female? I seem to think its a female but I don't want to vent so can anyone give me some ideas??

 

[mattlll]

This cobalt blue I'm also not sure about but think its a female??

They both look female to me. Here's my cobalt blue male. You can see the difference

It is really hard to identify the sex of yellow labs but, usually the male yellow labs have a more darker shade black on their fins.

Ok that's good because I'm wanting more females and males so they'l breed!

My yellow lab once bred with my eureka peacock but sadly I was a newbie and I didn't know how to take care of the fry ..

 

[mattlll]

Hah wow that's a strange breeding pair!

 

[mattlll]

Is 3 males and 12 females a good breeding ratio?

 

[Medx]

Yes you always want to have more females then males when you are breeding so that the male doesn't pick on one female constantly

Sorry I meant 3 males 9 females... A while ago I thought it was 8 females 4 males but after further research I've conclude tht wrong!! So that's good!

 

[mattlll]

UHGGG i meant to say a while ago I had 8 males and 4 females!!! GOSH my typing sucks right now!

Sorry for more questions but please reply!!! I was wondering, Is it true that bumblebee cichlid males and females have different colors which would mean this is a female?

And I was also wondering about this auratus that I always thought was a female but starts to look like a male now... I vented and it still looks like a female... This pic still looks like a female but I'm not sure still if it's stress or what but here's the vent..

And also I got a better pic of my red top zebra and a still don't know what it is?? I didn't vent it...


Sorry for all the questions! I'll probly have more too lol!!

The auratus looks like a stressed female and the red top is male for sure. Is the auratus in the red tops picture the same fish?

 

[mattlll]

The auratus in the red tops pic is a different smaller auratus.. And that's good because I want more females!

 

[mattlll]

What about the bumblebee? I'm pretty sure it's a female because I heard males were mostly black? Is this true?

 

[mattlll]

I also vented the yellow lab at the top of this thread but still can't tell if it's male or female... I still THINK its a female but not sure... what do you think? It's kinda blurry tho

 

[snowman17]

I believe they both can darken there color I Know mine can be black when in fight mode so ventng is they best way to tell.

 

[snowman17]

I would guess female
