Female? Male?

Post by Hokum »

All my Sewellia look the same, now i think, their all females, can anyone tell the sex from this picture?

The nubs on the Pectoral fins look like the fences mentioned on the species page but the head shape seems to be female?

Hi Hokum,
I think it is definitely a male!
Females have never nubs.

Hmm so i have 3 males then... hmm not ideal... i had thought they were all females... I think my tank isn't big enough for many more. I was going to get one more thinking they were females but 1 female isn't going to help much...
