We have two golden rams in our tank (a pair) and then these two blue rams. Are these both males? If so are two more females required?

A nice thread that will help people needing help sexing their Tetraodon schoutedeni. Post some pics and or some video of you spotted congo puffers! I have updated the video to have better audio and more examples at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPI8KstaKhE

Male (L) / Female (R) Male (Top) Displays more iridescence on the edges of his fins, and a lighter, brighter color pallet of orange and blue. His body is more streamlined and he is larger, with a less prominent belly when recently fed. His dorsal fin does not come to a fine, thin point, but is more rounded before it comes to a point at the end. Very slight nuchal hump that makes the face appear subtly dished. Female (Bottom) Displays a shorter, deeper body with darker orange and blue tones. Wider belly when recently fed, and very little iridescence, it is really only across the body. Dorsal fin sharply pointed at the end, with no rounded taper. Lacks a nuchal hump, face is not dished at all and slopes down in a smooth line. Face tends to be slightly shorter than males. I will update behavioral differences I notice as I get to know these fish, but since there’s like no good sexing guides on these guys I figured I would put one out there. Before someone asks, I got them from Dan’s Fish, but they are now sold out.

I noticed my guppies acting weird. So I watched. They won't leave the yellow guppy alone. The yellow one is bigger than the other could he be a she? But his tail is big. How do I add a video to this post?

I have some golden white cloud minnows and they breed for me quite often but I never fed them small fry foods so I only got a couple to raise uP. I’d like to see how many I can raise now so I’m setting up a 10 gallon with a bunch of java moss and I’m gonna feed lots of fry foods but I was wondering how do I sex them? And what male to female ratio should I have in a 10 gallon? I was hoping to colony breed them like I did in my pond, would that be possible? (A couple pictures of my white clouds, I’d like to get some more because over the years I’ve had sickness in the tank and 1 or 2 jumped so I’m only down to 4)

I need help seeing these two Bolivian rams I got (at a different lfs then I usually go to. Made me realize that the closer/ smaller one is leagues better!) and they couldn’t sex them (also extra points to anyone who can find the clown pleco in the second photo!) If it helps any the first one is slightly smaller, the larger one chased it a lot and it hides because of that (I think, because it hides mostly in a cave like area, could just be determining hierarchy or breeding) I am willing to swap one if they are the same gender

Hi all, I need some help double checking the sex of my two German rams. I got them from a very good aquarium shop where I live and ask for a male and female but the person helping me said it harder because they are quite young but was maybe 70% confident they pick a male and female. The reason I'm worried is that the one a believe is male chases away the female when he notices her unless he is too distracted by feeding time. The first two image is the one without a spot and bigger, but is generally confident (will approach the glass). Second two images is the smaller one with a spot but spot has blue over it. (They are harder to get pictures of because they are shyer)

Wondering if anyone out there has a tip for sexing ricefish. Obviously if I see one carrying eggs, we have a female. Several sources online refer to males having "bigger" anal fins, but the issue with that is you need to have both sexes in order to compare... and if I knew that I had both sexes, I would not need to know! Haha Does anyone know a better way to sex them, especially ones that do not rely on comparisons with the opposite sex?

Hey everyone! I've read some articles online but none have made sense, lets hope I can figure this out. I'm not trying to breed my angelfish, rather just curious the sex of them. How do you sex angelfish? Are they even old enough to sex yet? Thankyou in advance! Here's a little backstory about my angelfish, I have five of them currently, the one in the third picture is the boss. They all get along great, sharing the food. The other black and white one is much smaller then the rest of the angelfish. At first we were concerned it wasn't getting enough to eat but after a close observation at feeding time we have found that they all are pigs. Lol.

Ninja Decided tonight was a good night to lay eggs. They are in a community tank scheduled to be moved to a larger tank once I can get a cycle complete in it. Not sure what to do... Once the new tank is cycled I can move all tank mates to the new tank Move the plants , decorations. But the eggs were laid on the large piece of spider wood.

I ordered fish online about 2 weeks ago. Was supposed to be a m/f redneck apisto pair. I think they sent me 2 males. Anyone have experience with this happening, mabey what I can expect from the seller? I sent them a email today but have not heard back. I am just trying to get an idea what I should expect.

I've been researching how to tell the difference between a male and female BST's. I've read about looking at their fins, their width etc. I have tried and yet, still can't tell the difference. LOL. Is there any sure way to make a distinction between the two?

This is my first apisto. he was sold to me as a cacatuoides double red male from an LFS, unsure of the age but he's about 2 inches long total and I've had him a week. I believe he is indeed a male because of the longer spikes at the front of his dorsal fin, but I'd like to know what others think. I'm also wondering is he really a double red? He has that one spot on his tail but otherwise he seems to be starting to color up orange. Could he be an orange flash? Or is he just still getting his coloring? If he is a male double red, when should I expect to see more color? Currently he's alone in quarantine

Males? Females? One of each? Of the many persons I have asked online, some are certain they are both females, and the others are certain that they are both males. I have researched this EXHAUSTIVELY and remain uncertain. I am hoping to find an expert that can tell me their sexes with absolute certainty.

This is my first time raising Endler fry and this guy is just starting to get his colors! So cool! This is one of two surprise fry that came with the adults I bought. I thought they were both female. Then I heard on an old livestream Cory explaining that guppies all appear female as juveniles and then at a few months the males will begin to grow into male features. Nature is wild.

I've had my pair of Kribensis for about 2 months. The female (Blue Jean Baby) has chased off the male (Tiny Dancer) until about a week ago when they both started digging. Today the male is protruding I believe. Below is a photo, is this a male? Does this signify the actual mating may begin? This is my first experience with this breed, and the first possible breeding of fish. Any help is most appreciated.
