Sexing my rainbow shark

[Rusty_S]

I really would like to know what sex my rainbow shark is, the only things I can find on the internet say that males are slimmer than females, but of course I only have one so I don't have two to compare. Are there any other distinguishing features to either sex or does anyone have pics of a male and female that I can look at? B)

Thanks

Basically I think it's just that males are slimmer than females, i hate it when it's that hard to sex a fish but that's how it goes sometimes

Oh well thanks for replying loach, I think it might be a she cos it's pretty fat

She'll just die if she hears me talking about her weight like this

lol, my one clown loach is the same way, actually she's thinking about having part of her stomach stappled so she can lose weight

Hi Rusty.

You are right...males are thinner. Also Rainbow males will have a black line on their anal fins.

My rainbow shark's anal fin is almost all black as it is I'm not sure what to think now

actually she's thinking about having part of her stomach stappled so she can lose weight

Sexing fish can be hard at times
