L134 Sexing

[Andrew]

What sex do you think these 134s are;

Frogs are soooooo difficult to sex but looking at the top picture I would say the one in the middle is female and maybe the one to the right.

Really:dk:

I would have nailed the middle one as female, It looks identical time my one. The one on the right has lots of hair on the tail aswell. I know this is not the way to sex the but hmmmmmm

Just out of interest what are you looking for when sexing them Elaine?

Hi geeman,

If those are my guys, they are established breeders and have spawned and raised fry many times. I know what you mean about being so very difficult to sex though LOL !

 

[thegeeman]

lol well its a bit easier when you know the fish because you have owned them

Cheers

Thanks for the replies.
Elaine, the fish are my trio that i bought off Andrew Coxon, i am selling on these ones since i got your group, which are settling in nicely :thumbup:

Andrew said they were a trio, and i took his word on it, but now i am selling them, i am checking their sex.
Going by how they act in the tank, it looks like one male, who uses a cave most of the time, whilst the other two like hiding under wood, and i never see them using a cave.
Not scientific, just what i've noticed of them.

The pictures didn't turn out as well as i hoped, i'll leave it a few days and get some more pictures.

Looking at the pictures on my pc with Windows Photo Gallery, i can zoom in on them doing this, as i never resized them.

In the top picture, the left and middle fish look female, while the one on the right looks male.
The one on the right is showing hairs on it's body from it's anal fins down to it's tail.
So the second picture shows the two females, whilst the third picture shows the male.

 

[Marsbar]

I would say they are all female, almost 100%

 

[L134PLECO]

I still think 2 female 1 male.

3 females

just becasue they are plump and well fed, does not make them female - males can get really fat. I go by lots of hair is male, and maybe head shape , overall profile etc.
they are very difficult to sex, some people try by genitalia
