StockEwe49 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi all, a recent question came up in a Livestream about if temperature will effect the ratio of boys to girls in Endlers. Cory said he wouldn't know the answer to that question. So I would like to call upon the forum to answer it! Does anyone have any answers on this or is it a very unknown area of research? I know in reptiles the temperature impacts the ratio, so it would be cool to know that in fish! Also if there is another post dedicated to this already I would greatly appreciate a link to it! Thanks for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockEwe49 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 @Brisward Wow this is very interesting thanks! From what I saw looking through the paper it seems lower temperatures had more females and a higher temperature had more males. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
