I don't have pictures, but i know by looking at the anal fin, you can know. The pointy one is the male, shorter one is female.

Yea so I've read, the worker at the lfs said that and said 1 was make and 1 female, when I asked another working he said they were both male until the other bloke came back and said he had already sexed them :-s they are young so it's hard to tell... I'm worried I have 2 males as I brought them to breed.

Ill post a few pictures.

This is meant to be the female but it's not a good photo of her fin, the so called male is hiding and camera shy
