L 200 Sexual Dimorphism

Post by **Shane** » 20 Oct 2003, 01:59

Hello all,
I have mentioned this guy a few times and when Jools and I were speaking today he said that he wanted to see a photo as well.

Here you can see the odontodes of the pectoral and operculum.

Full body shot. I meant to measure him while I had him out but I forgot to.

His largest female companion. Note that her markings on the trailing edge of the caudal are much more distinct as is the white edging to the dorsal. Her upper fin was split a long time ago and never healed right.

For scale, the photo tank is 5.5 gallons and 12 inches (30 cm) long. They take up most of the photo tank. This would make them 9-10 inches (23-25 cm).
