Thanks windy It looks different to my other males so I was hoping it was female.i bought a group of 10 about 2 months ago + it looks like they are all males :-(
Hi,
... for determining the sexes, please make pictures vertically from the top.
The sexes can be determined only from about 6 cm, the larger the better.
If they are large only 2.5 inches, it may not be sure.

pictures not quite sharp enough to see hair clearly so bit of a guess.
head shape and chew look female, head band, body and front fins look male.

By its stance, sideways to the cave like that I would say female.
Nose looks shorter like a female and the cheek odontodes don't look to have that long one or two ones that males have. Females will often hang around like that in less preferred caves so they can stake claim to the male in the bamboo log beside it.

I am hoping its a female but it don't often come out of that cave which made me doubt its gender, but thanks all for your opinions
This one haven't left its cave for 4 days, not even for food which is very unlike it. All my zebs are very active at feeding time.
she'd be coming out at night i would expect... if shes not losing body size then she must be eating....
Hi everyone, this is a closer picture of the one above. It's nearly 3 inches long + acting like a male by caving all the time. I still can't see no long hairs on the fins or the head, by looking at my other ones I think it looks more female but it's behaving like a male.Your thoughts would be appreciated
Remove the preferred cave, add some overhangs for more cover and see if it challenges a male for his cave or not.
looks very female to me.... i have one definite girl that doesnt wanna leave a cave at the moment.... perhaps she waiting for a nice fella
