ryanjury Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I got this tropheus down in wellington the other day and im trying to figure out if its a boy or a girl (I will vent it eventually which is why the nets are in the tank ive been trying to catch it..) but seems as a few people on here have bred them surely someone knows what it is by its finage the pics are crap sorry.. Also looking for a partner for him/her eventually too so if anyone has any for sale let me know I know they are supposed to be in a colony but if I get a partner will try and breed them through a divider..

ryanjury Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I dont know if anyone can tell anything from these.. I recon female which would suck because a male just went on trademe and I forgot to bid on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiden Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Was wondering if people who have tropheus can see whether there males are the only ones that have long "ventral fins"?? (is that right :oops: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yeah thats another thing and I assumed it was a male due to the long ventral fins... But the vent looks like female to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 The only way you can really tell with Tropheus is to vent. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
