diference of mal and female bleheri ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yes, male has a slender profile ( especially when you have a top view of both sexes ) while the female showing her belly. The male also has a larger head ( especially at the gills area ) while the the female with a smaller one. Besides it is said that the male has a more bluish colour on the dorsal fin while the female with more red spots. The first two would help you identify it, the male appears bigger than the female also ( at the same age ).

Spot on


The presence of a larger, thicker, white edge to the dorsal and anal fins is usually (but not always) an indication of a male;) . If he is in the mood :naughty: the anal and dorsal fin of males usually turn deep blue.
 
I have a group of these lil things, have had them for a year and still can't see if there is a pair or not!
