This one is over 8 inches, anyone an idea about the gender?

This one is just over 6 inches, so might be to small to see the gender yet.

First one is a female, second is on this point en male.
I'm looking at the head and body shape, if the head is broader them the belly it's a male.

But this only my theory if the mustache and the odontodal growth on the pectorial fins are not visible yet.

good luck,
Walter

Frank, can I ask you wich river first fish came from? Cause I have had the same L025 with few spot and I never discovered if it really came from Xingu as the full spotted type.

Hello Elwood,

I don't know from which river this fish is. I'm curious too which area it's from.

My thoughts are the same, the first one a female and the second one a male. I bought another one yesterday also around 8 inches. Will put some pictures of the new L25 on here too.

Nice to read you bought an other one. From Utaka?

No this one is not from Utaka. Saw that they have L25 now, also for a decent price.

This is fish nr.3 around 8 inches.
