Hi There

I would like to know if these fish I bought recently is in fact L066

Also would anyone be able to sex them for me:

Catfish Number 1:

And the second fish:

Fish #1



Fish #1 and #2

Hi!

Don't know if it is the angle from which was taken the pictures but I would say yours look like L333

Regarding the sex, not quite easy I would say, especially regarding fish # 2 but fish # would be a male, especially base on Head shape!!

Cheers

Thanks for the reply

What would be the best camera angel to determine the sex of the fish?

Generally, for sexing, you want one fish in each picture, against a clear, high contrast background [such as a dark fish on a white background], straight from above. That generally gets the best image.

Taking one fish at a time out of the tank into a white plastic icecream tub, or similar, would be the best way. If you've got more than two fish, it's probably best to take them out of the tank into a holding container (bag/bucket) and then take one at a time out of the holding container into the photo contiainer, and then back into the original tank - that way you don't have to figure out which ones you've got photos of and which you haven't.
