imsweet Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 i have 3 young Australe Gold fish and they all look the same apart from 1 has a slightly more pointed rear dorsal fin. Theyre all very light in colour and about 2cm long. 60 days old tomorrow if i'm remembering correctly. Any other sure fire way to tell?

Barrie Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 at 60 days you should be able to sex them but I would guess that the pointy one is a male have a close look at the tail and you will probably see a few stripes starting to show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I can first tell male for female from a faint purple strip on there anal fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yep. That is pretty much it for Australes, gardernis etc. if the tips of fins have colour, then it is a male. Well that is how I tell them apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
