Hello

As with most killifish species you will always get skewed sex ratios from a batch of fry. Why this occurs has yet to be fully clarified and documented.
There is a train of thought if you segregate and place two fry in a tub, then you will get a sexed pair. Some say it works for certain species whilst not for others. I remain skeptical, in any case I would always advocate dividing up fry into different tubs purely because if you lose a tub for what ever reason then you still have the others. (don't put all your eggs in one basket scenario)
Equally they will be fine together if the tubs are kept meticulously clean.

Early stages fry rearing tubs in my setup 6-8 fry in each.
