Help with Sexing Rainbow Kribensis

Recommended Posts

Hello all, I recently bought a “male female pair” of Rainbow Kribs and was wondering if anyone could help me with sexing them. The first one is larger, more colorful, and seems to roam freely around the tank and outgoing. The second one is smaller, less colorful, and more timid. The first one always chases the second one if they see each other, so the second one ends up hiding in the back of the aquarium. The last two pics are the only times I could get a picture of the second one. Sorry if the pictures aren’t great.

Females bodies are rounder the one in your last pic may be a young male. It hard to tell because it's looks stressed.
