mitzy Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Were there pics that were meant to have been attached to post? No pictures mumzy got no cam. Were my rams but did swap for her blues, Is it possible that males get something hanging down? I Know my female gold ram did when and after she laying the eggs she has a egg tube thing hanging down.

Afrikan Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The male tube is usually alot thinner and smaller than the females... the females is usually fat and stubby looking... hmm that's the best I can describe it :lol: They definately are different to look at. Hers is more pronounced looking than his... Do you notice other physical differences between the two like dorsal fins etc, that's how we generally sexed our bolivians that way...

mitzy Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I never seen the tubes when i had them , mind you I was not looking and they didnt have much colour in my tank and are colouring up nicely in mumzy tank, Im sure there fins were the same apart from one of them have a thick black line on the top fin and it might be a little higher but not sure on that.

mumzy50 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 They both look like twins,same marking same fin shape.The white tube is small on both more like a pimple.You might have ripped me off Mitzy :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumzy50 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Mitzy you did,you need glases.Now one of them has paired up with the female keyhole.If it was a male,would the tube be longer,or shorter.I need to know so i can get it a partner.

Afrikan Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The males tube is normally shorter, more delicate looking... shame you couldn't throw a pic on here of them 8) We kept a few in the same tank, and you they normally pair off on their own, maybe something you could do if you unsure of sexing them?
