Silverdollarboy2 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi I'm wondering if someone can tell me if these silver dollars are different species or not http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l350/CurtissKittyhawke/imagejpg1_zps68f8524b.jpg http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l350/CurtissKittyhawke/imagejpg2_zpsc0cca8ed.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinbote Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 The top is female and the bottom is male. The difference is the pointed vs rounded anal fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 The female in the first picture sometimes develops a large black spot and her tail gets a black edge and she chases the others round. Is she trying to spawn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
