Sounds right. - Frank

Ah, cheers Frank,

When I said "seeing" in the first post, I meant sexing! Any ideas on how many males/females in each group?

Cheers!

Steve

try to get all "top shots" of each group...makes it easier to sex them...in the first pic where it is top down shot, seems defo one is female, maybe two...but they could also be little and its hard to tell when theyre small IME.
someone put it to me this way once: speedboat= male, tugboat=female (as in what shape they are) it seemed to make sense, but im a boat gal by nature.
good luck with them...they are all fantastic!!!
cheers

Melini's look like 2 female and 2 male, unclear on the arcuatus but as lorax said better shots would be slightly easier to guess at

The 3 fish, center-bottom in top pic are female. All the others in that pic, appear to be males. Know way to be sure about the others, until mature. - F.

id say the same thing frank bottom 3 Melini are female hard to say what the other left had side Melini is as its not a top view
and as a guess id say the arcuatus on the far right bottom is female

Hi beetlesteve

You are sure to enjoy your new corys. It's been awhile since I've seen posts about C. arcuatus, and now I'm glad to see that several of our members have just got some. They have always been one of my favorites.
