tinytawnykitten Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I have a beautiful gold severum in my community tank and she/he seems to be getting on fine with the other inhabitants (platys, mollies, 1 BGK, harlequin rasboras, pearl danios). How do I sex this fish? And would I be best to stai with just the one severum or should I have more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 As they grow(get to 20cm) they will start eating plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Girl golds seem to lack alot of the nice red striations on the face and the redness on the fins, also their dorsal and anal fins arent as long as males. Some people go by the squiggles between the eyes, apparently females lack these (mine does but i dont have a male to compare her to). Having more than one is probably a personal choice, you run the risk of increased aggession (ive found fish seem to fight more between their own species if theyre going to) and breeding.

becc4 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have always found that my sev;s prefer to have company of their own. I have a pair now who have just decided to start breeding (attempting). They have turned the tank into a battle field. MY female lacks the red markings on the face, male has the red markings and longer finnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
