So I need a bif of help sexing these as I've only got a day or two to hand one back if it's not a male & female.

Just got hold of a pair. Supposedly male and female. Only 2.5/3 inches. I know this is a chappy time to identify sexes. The plan is to breed some up.

One does have very small bristles at the end of the mouth as the other has absolutely nothing. So presuming it's a M/F. Jjst wanted to clarify.

Couldn't get very good pictures but here they are.
Any input is appreciated.

At that size it is nearly impossible to say for certain. I will say I have seen plenty of female bristle nose with a small amount of bristles as well as completely lacking them. The fish with the bristles very well could be a male or female. Only time will tell. I think you need to hold onto them and grow them out to get a better idea.
