Billaney Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hi, could they be sexed yet ? would be cool to get a pair or trio of those guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 i didn't really take much notice, one had small bristles around it's nose (maybe a female?) and all the rest didn't have any i dont think. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 one had small bristles around it's nose (maybe a female?) Wouldn't it be a male if it had bristles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Depending on size, it could be a young male or female as they have short bristles but if they are only small I would say its a male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 as i say, i didn't really take a second look. If they don't have bristles up their nose then they are a female right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 It depends on there age/size, bristles don't show until the are 2-3cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 there are two definate males around 6cm, they have the bristles around the edge of their nose and up the middle. i suspect the other one was a female as she had no bristles and was the same size as the above two but i suppose it could be a later bloomer :lol: and there were 2-3 (cant remember) that were too small to be sexed yet and had no bristles at all, they were around 4cm. they were 45.20 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
