My L114

I was so excited when I ordered these a couple months ago, expecting some nice mature fish! Even though they came in smaller than I expected, I still quite like them!

#1, 4"SL (female?)

#2, 3.5"SL (male?)

#3, 3.75"SL (female?)

I realize they're likely too young to sex, but do you guys figure I have a decent guess?

Thanks!

I'm absolutely no expert, but looking at this pic http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/im ... ge_id=4878 they seem have very different head shapes even as juveniles. Based on this, I would guess #2 is female and #3 is male. I'm not sure about #1 but would guess female.

Sure some more experienced people will come along and give you a better opinion though.

I have a very limited experience with Pseudacathicus, I just got my first pair from this genus a couple weeks ago, but your guesses look accurate to me. Another way of saying it would be that if you're wrong, then neither of us can expect a spawn ;)

I was going by head shape, too. It looks to me that #1 and #3 have a more rounded head shape, while #2 seems a but more pointed. According to the cat e-log, they have a few more inches of growth before they'll be sexually mature - maybe this summer?
