help with sexes ? - 2008/01/15 06:21 im having trouble figuring out the sexes ! all my fish act like males and have the female colors. my biggest red zebra has 7 eggs on anal fin with clear rings around them, but is all orange with white-ish belly areas. (hmmm?) and the smaller one has 2 little eggs and one med. egg on anal fin. (hmmm?

my arautus turned dark (not all the way black thoguh) and does NOT have any eggs on anal fin. and my blue johani is all light blue with dark blue/black fins, and two nice-sized larger eggs on anal fin. both act like males (dig/pick-up rocks/agressive/terrotorial ect. but ive only seen the johani shake/dance or w/e. sites are confusing me with info.

i also have 2 yellow lab that the sites say theyr're black bottom fins mean male.. but one has only one egg on anal fin and its faint, plus its pretty big which some say mean female. can the female have black bottom fins? im looking to have more females (or know the sexes) for my breeds.., can anyone help?

does the male do the shaking only ? or can the female shake also ?

Re:help with sexes ? - 2008/02/15 11:32 Hi, my mum and dad have a pair of yellow labs and the female has black on her bottom fin. The male has a thicker black than the female. I will have a better look at mums fish and see if there is anything else that will help with your id

Re:help with sexes ? - 2008/02/15 14:04 I also believe that the males will have a black line that runs through the eye when the get angry or dominate feeling... When they are not excited you wont see it .... But when they are excited you will notice it as its distinctive.....
