Sexing Gastromyzon

[Fella]

I've got a pair of Gastromyzon beaufortia (Hillstream Loaches) in my tank and was wondering if there was any way to tell the sexes apart? I've tried look online but I can't really find anything about their sexual dimorphism (if any) or their breeding behaviour. Mine have been quite skitty recently and one has been almost "flashing" at the other. Breeding?


Any help is gratefully received!

About halfway down is the "Can I breed them?" section, which should answer both of your questions pretty well...

Many thanks I read this article firsttime round but missed the part on sexing them.


I'll be sure to buy a rock as well, because one of them is most definitely performing a "fluttery dance".
