bdspider Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the gender of my fighting fish. At the shop, we thought it was a male, it was very colourful & bright. When we got home, it had paled from the stress of transportation and had very obvious brown, horizontal lines, and we were convinced it was female! It's too young to tell by fin size, but it does flare quite a bit (mainly out of anticipation of being fed) Some days it is really bright and nicely coloured (male) and some it is pale with the stripes (female). Today I noticed it'd built a bubble nest!! Is it only males who do this? Sorry I can't put up any pictures, I don't get a camera until next week.

Loopy Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 More than likely it's a male from the sound of things. How ever female fighters have been known to do the bubble thing to. Where did you get it from? Size? Might see you tonight at TT Mr L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 It's about 4ish cm. From Organisms. Most of the others in it's tanks looked female, with another 2-3 that were male-ish looking. We were having a conversation about male fighters, so I'm sure John would have said something if he thought/knew it was female. Then again, maybe he expected us to have enough knowledge to tell. & yes, will seeya tonight. I'm baking hokey pokey biscuits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
