paul_r Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I have recently had all my killies in one community tank along witha few guppies and neons etc, however i have just setup my third tank 5 minutes ago(has been cycling for abouta week) specifically for breeding Nothobranchius Korthausae yellows, however i now have one small problem, how do i tell the difference between Australe Choc females and the the Notho females? Any help much appreciated Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Colour is one way The northos are a lot greyer and the Australe are browner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Compare the dorsal fins Paul. Blatantly obvious. Just have to know what to look for tho. The Notho is rounded and the australe is pointed to the backof the fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_r Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 yeah thanks for that. I spent a good 10 minutes comparing the 2 and eventually found the missing female, i noticed that tho notho females seemed to be a lot broader than the chocs, also had a longer top rear anal fin (unsure of proper name of it) , also the nothos seem to have whiter bellies and very plain in color whereas the female chocs seemed to have darker spots and darker bodies. Well that is what i observed. I currently have 3 male and 5 female nothos in one 30l tank, will be getting some peat tommorrow if the garden shop is open. Will be interesting to see what happens.
