xpost from the "Red Holy Grail" c. salvini thread!
"These are the three c. salvini "chacamax" I brought home - would anybody be able to sex these for me with confidence? I haven't dealt with them before so I just had to guess. a) top one male? he's bigger, more vibrant and was the bully of the tank at work. b) if he's male are the other two female? smaller, currently less colour. Not sure if these fish are all the same age, but we've been assuming they are.
The three remaining at work are another one who is similar to the top one (but slightly smaller) and two more similar to the bottom two. Should I change the combination at all? The intent would be to eventually form a breeding pair when they mature and to continue the chacamax strain locally, these fish are extremely rare here.
thanks! I will post this again in a thread for visibility. need some help getting to know these fish
