burgo Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi All, I have 6 female Auratus for swap, they are approx 25mm long, I would like to swap them for Ice Blues if possible but would consider any other type of Malawai. I am just starting out with these amazing fish and am trying to get a good balance. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 25mm is VERY small to sex a malawi cichlid i'd say 40mm is the minimum size to be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgo Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have been going by what I was told by one of my friends who told me they all looked like females. Either way I have too many of them and need to swap them hopefully with someone who has different types that I dont. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonhunt Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 The auratus all start out looking like females and males don't change colour till they are around 5cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgo Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 My apologises I had been told they were all female. This does not change the fact however that i want to swap them for something else, as I have too many. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
