seahorsemad Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I have a simese fighting fish that was sold to me as a female. She has the horizontal stripes in all the right places, but... her fins appear to have grown longer than the usual length of female fighter fish and after putting her in another tank by herself she has started to build bubble nests. Is this normal for a fighting fish or have i brought a hermafridite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I vote for hermaphrodite - not that I know what I am talking about of course but it would provide some fascinating viewing .......... :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilocagain Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I believe what you brought was in fact a young male(now not so young) Was it a private sale and how big was it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorsemad Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 brought it at hollywoods and it was about normal size for a female. it has been in with another male for the last 4 months with no hassles so cant figure out whats going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interfecus Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I've had a female who built bubble nests. I ended up giving her nests to the males who had no interest in building at all :roll: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistymu05 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 i have that problem of telling the difference between my males and females as i have been going by the fin lengths but i have a couple that look like girls = browny coloured and spotty and no long tails etc but their fins are rather long.....so i just playing a guessing game at home at the moment and with the two i gave dad i think its one of each but not absolutely sure either......
