Hi Travis
Fish number 1- too young to tell, educated guess, male due to body shape. L-104
Fish number 2- 100% young adult male L-104
Fish number 3- Inconclusive, too young, head shape seems like a male but its starting to get broad behind pectoral fins which is a female trait, I would condition them with high protein foods such as JMC catfish pellets and check her out again in a few weeks. L-104
Fish number 4- Very, very stressed young L-104, too young to sex, however females tend to change colour when stressed, in a more prominent way than male 104's, could be a female but its too early to tell, 4 months on there should be no doubt
.
Fish number 5- 100% young adult male L-104 , its eyes are wide apart, it started to show odontode growth on it back and the tapering body shape is a dead give away.
Unfortunately so far there is no 100% clear cut female, will try and dig out a pic of one of mine for you to compare.
Kind regards
Joseph.
