Apparently males are larger, with slightly more elongated anal and dorsal fins

I wanted to get Keyholes for my 90L tank, but went for Kribs as my girlfriend preferred their colours...what are the keyholes like?

My two keyholes are the bosses of the tank, including a uaru and a geophagus!

My female has much shorter fins than the male. However apparantly females can sometimes have long trailing fins too, so my 'male' may be a female.

They're not spectacular fish but very personable. Its importent they feel secure so a well planting tank and dither fish are good. A stressed keyhole will look mottled and hide.
