Pep BN sex

[anfo]

Hi all,

I have two peps, one at around 14cm and the other at around 10cm...

Both have a few lip bristle but they both have one nose bristle...

The smaller pep's nose bristle is 2mm long and the 14cm pep's nose bristle is 3-4mm long...

Are these two girls or boys???

Please note: I currently have male peps ranging from 9cm through to 15cm with branched bristles...

Please note: the nose bristle of two peps in question do not branch out...

do you have a pic showing the location of the one bristle....

feeling top of the nose is best indicator... soft squishy is a male... hard and firm is a female...

 

[anfo]

I'll try and some pics later....

 

[anfo]

This is the bigger one...

Sorry for bad pics!!!

 

[anfo]

Here's the smaller one...

 

[Bigjohnnofish]

could well be both female... but have you rubbed top of their nose - this is the decider for me...

 

[anfo]

No I didn't rub the nose but isn't a males nose soft and squishy because of the bristles?

 

[jimmywr]

you need a male 2 females

 

[Pirarucu]

Yep...females :thumbup:

No I didn't rub the nose but isn't a males nose soft and squishy because of the bristles?

its soft and squishy whether it has bristles sticking out or not

small b/n can be sexed with a great deal of accuracy using this method....

female will be firm and hard... plate like with a skin covering... sometimes a female can have odd bristle where it shouldnt be on top of nose :thumbup:
