haha, thanks for your input revival. I'll edit a few of the pix tonight so the vents are clearer.

What are you using to determine the sexes? O> Oo ?

More input! I don't want all my work to be for naught! I've got quite a few holes in my hand, blood was drawn, scales lost, and fins were torn

oh FYI, if you click on the pix you can also zoom in. at least you can on mozilla
Yeah i looked at the pics both on my laptop and my iphone. On my iphone i was able to zoom but it was still kind of difficult. Alot eaiser to vent in person. Did you make your list of the sexes? And from what i know, oO female, o> male. Can you notice any difference in the anal fins of a male and female of the same species? When i had my 2 monos their anal fins were totally different and when i vented them one was male and one was female.

Why in the world are you poking fish holes??? We are venting by looking, not by sexually harassing the fish.:nilly:

I really have no idea what most of these are. Here are my guesses.

  1. M
  2. F
  3. M
  4. M
  5. M
  6. hahahaha
  7. M
  8. F
  9. F
  10. F
  11. M
  12. M
  13. F

I'm pretty sure 11 and 12 are male. These are my kelberi. They've both developed nuchal humps.

I'll try and take side pix of each cichla so you can look at their anal fins. I have pix of them out of the water but not sure if that'll help you any.

as for size (in inches):

  1. 12
  2. 14
  3. 11
  4. 13
  5. 12
  6. 12
  7. 12
  8. 13
  9. 11.5
  10. 11
  11. 14
  12. 14
  13. 12
  14. 12
