L450 Sexing help

Post by Catfish-ologist »

Hello all,
I recently acquired a group of 6 L450 and I was curious if anyone could help me sex them.
These were the best photos I could get, the lighting might be poor but i wanted to know if anyone could help out. These fish are approximately 3.75" - 4". I hope to someday breed these so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Please review the photos on this and the following post as there are too many to place in one.
Thanks,
-- Sean
