Loopy Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I registed my breeding of silver dollars as Metynnis Argenteus. Bottom fish is a male, top fish is female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 thanks loopy is the red the male colouration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The red colour is not the best thing to go on. The real give away is the shape of the anal fin. Girls are square and males are rounded. the hint of a black spot behind the gill plates on the males is a good indicator that they are in the *mood* Your photo up there is really good for showing the difference between the girls and boys!
