Can You Tell The Gender?

[fshinggrl]

Is there a way of telling the gender? I have only 3 right now... any guesses? (sorry for quality.. they are hard to photograph!!!)
Fish 1

Fish 2

Fish 3

Its not too easy to tell the sexes from your pictures but it looks like all 3 are females. They all are rather big in the belly regions. It may be that you are feeding your fish overly well in which case fish No 3 may be a male. I would suggest if you wish to breed these fish go buy another 6 and pick out some slimmer and some fatter fish and yoiu will be almost sure of them breeding if you have the conditions right.

Thank you. I do not plan on breeding, I'm just a very curious person! I just got them today. Thanks for the information. Very helpful!

fish 2 looks like a male. males have a longer, 'knife-like' shape, the females usually have a big belly!
