male/female Dojo?

[Donkey Gun]

Can anyone sex these 2 loaches of mine?
Ive read the females have shorter and rounder pectoral fins and that's all I know.

So Im guessing this one is a male:




This one, I'm guessing is female because of the much shorter pectoral fin, However they are not really round.



Thank you for any input!

yes, thank you very much! I believe I may have 2 males, because although the one has much shorter pectoral fins they are not rounded...

[TheFishBoss97]

ur welcome........maybe a close up of the fins?

[Donkey Gun]

I'll try!

[TheFishBoss97]

k, to me, it looks like they are same, but not sure.........looks like 2 females to me

[TheFishBoss97]

sorry, males......

[Donkey Gun]

Still not sure if they are both males. I did get a good glance at the one with shorter pectoral fins, an they are rounded. Had no time for a photo though. I'm convinced they can tell when the camera focuses on them, because they always move at that moment.

maybe a vid. camera?

[Donkey Gun]

finally got a great photo of the suspected female's pectoral fin..

what do ya think?

[Donkey Gun]
