Help sexing L007's

Post by pointpleco »

Am i right that the biggest of these at 7cm's is male. And the other two at 5.5 and 5cm's are female. The smaller ones seem to have the torpedo shape and the bigger has a bit longer face. I know they are still small but i bought them as that.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

The head shapes seem to point to one male and two female, but they have a fair bit of growing to do before I think you could be certain.

It's not a fish I have kept before, so maybe someone else who has will come along and share their experiences.

Good luck with them!

Hi Marc,

They were sold to me as that, so i'm feeling better that they are what i was told.
But yes they do need a fair bit of growing to do.
Seems to be a good chance i have a pair, so when they get bigger i can hopefully get them to spawn.

Thanks
