sexing

how big are the 204's ??? sorry from those photos i cant really see too much but heres a pic of a couple of my 204's.... male is in the cave and you can see clearly the males have a hairy backside compared to the females smooth backside!!!

so pull your fish out of your tank again and have a close look at the rear of the fish for hair.... normally very clear out of water...

if they are boys they should have plenty of hair at that size....
maybe you have all girls....

Looking also at the pectorialfins I would guess that the fish on picture 6-8 is a possible female. The rest are all male I'm afraid.

Subdominant males don't display a lot of odonthodes on the tail, not nearly as much as the dominant male. Let them settle down for a few months and then look again. Maybe it is more obvious then

Nice present, nice fish :clap:

Hi, and thanks for your answers, I hope to have some male and some female, the choice that I had to do was on a total of six fish. Maybe it was better to take them all? Anyway let's see how they develop between several month
