Carlos & Siran Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is one a male and one a female? Sorry for the fuzziness but they are quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Sexing kribensis isn't too difficult. Males are much larger than females. Also, males have more pointed dorsal and anal fins than females do. Unlike most tropical fish, female kribensis are more colorful than the males. However, males have more color on their caudal fin (tail) than females do. The upper part of the male's tail has a few dark spots surrounded by yellow. The kribensis in the photo at the top of this page is male. There is some variety in the coloration of kribensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 First pic - 100% female. Second pic - possibly a male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I agree. When I had a pair, years ago, the female looked... fatter, cos its shorter, and its stomach was much redder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
