Another L333 sexing thred

[scobie140]

Sorry there seems to be a fair few of these recently but any chance of sexing these? A few have some growing to do still. I think the big one is female along with possibly another two but thats just me guessing.

Thankfully they never moved whilst i was taking pics just ashame i had to take them on the phone.
Cheers for any help

Looks to be a difference in nose shapes so both sexes present.
They look to be in really nice condition for their ages.

Thanks thats good to here. I read all the sexing threads and convince myself i know what i'm looking for but then get unsure when looking at them on my own. There only about 2 years old so will probibly leave it another 6 month before i try to get them to breed as i think i read somewhere that they take a while to reach breeding maturity. Good news though my pair of rams i keep with them have spawned last night first spawning so will probibly not get any fry out of it.

Rams ate the eggs, just need to keep trying

Tit for tat, they probably ate the rams eggs lol.

haha wouldn't put it past them, they quickly wipe out any snails i put in to try and tidy up their scraps. rams have had another go and this time the eggs have hatched still tiny with yolk sacks but better than last time. wish the L333's bread this easy

3 are females for sure. Looks like a nice group of L333's.... They like it a little dirty to breed. Do good water changes and get them fat.... then no water changes for a week or two if you can. Then do small water changes..... 10% or less. HTH
