aquab Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hiya, How do you tell the difference between a male and female??? :-? I have 2 Texas Cichlids and they suddenly seem to be fighting alot. Checked on them this mornig and they both had "battle scars" above their "top"lip :-? One gets black under it's "chin" and half way down its belly and furiously chases the other one. I don't want them getting stressed and will seperate if i have to. Any help appericated, Thanks in Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sounds like a pair that you have there. Keep an eye on them as, like most cichlids, the fighting can get a bit ruff, but with the bad comes the good and you could have Texas Long Fins roaming your aquatic wonderland any time soon, ya hear??
