kiwiplymouth Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Does any care to have a go at sexing my EBJD? I am thinking male but I wouldn't bet my house on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Nice fish, I would guess male also.. It has nice long flowing fins and is very blue, however as you know sometimes females of these guys can be quite colourful and have nice finage especially with the age/size I am guessing this one is..

kiwiplymouth Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 This is the same fish about about a year ago when I got it from kristof (vinsonmassif) It has grown fast which is another reason I am guessing male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 There must be a way to vent sex them at that size. Such a beautiful fish; you have done well by him. Kristof would have been thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks P44. This is one fish that will never leave my fishroom. I have what we think is an adult JD female being delivered tomorrow for some company and perhaps a bit of romance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiplymouth Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 This is his new partner that we think is female. The are definite differences in lower jaw shape as was as big differences in finnage and tail shape. The has been no aggression so far, just plenty of flaring from him.

phoenix44 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 really nice pics! and I see the arcuta is catching on too! If she was a he, they would have probably had a scrap by now so maybe you're on to something good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 The pic of the female here http://www.theoscarspot.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=16430 is very similar to mine so I am hopeful I see the arcuta is catching on too! Yep the plants are doing well mate. Last week I added a 14000K MH which has really got them going and is bringing out nice new red leaves on many of the swords etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
