Pepper Corys. Male Or Female?

[josh-sven]

how do i know?

With great difficulty.

There are supposed differences but I have never been able to see any.

If you want to try breeding, get yourself a group of at least six and you are virtually guaranteed a few of each sex. Obviously, the larger the group, the greater the odds

Hi,

when viewed from above females are wider, this is easier to see in adult fish juveniles all look the same until they get a decent size.

In my experience of Peppered Corys, the females appear to get quite substantially larger. I'd say almost twice as big. That's probably the easiest way to tell, but again won't work on juveniles.
