Nordlys Fish Room Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 This is my first time with splitfins/goodeids. I bought (5) fry in august last year. They’re currently about 2 inches long and roughly 6-7 months old. So far they all look female still and obviously I was hoping for at least one male. I was wondering if someone more experienced could give me an estimate on when they start to sex out. Tank stays about 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter.

shkote Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 At 6-7 months old, the andropodium should already be visible on males. Mine are usually sexable around the 4 month mark. I do sometimes have males that take a little longer to color up, but the andropodium is still evident on those males. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I’ll need to get a second batch this spring if I want babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
