went fishing today , wanted to find out for sure the sex of these two . so what im seeing here is that Mean Joe and Goldie Locks are both males ? looks like o> to me . also will this possibly be a problem as they get bigger just two bass and both male ? anybody have any knowledge on this ? thanks

Male on the lower pic, top is not super clear, but looks male.

 

[peter predtank]

thanks bass guy , so any ideas on if they will be ok together as long as there isnt a female present or am i looking at possible problems as they get more mature anyway ?

Just get a third n fourth

 

[peter predtank]

i have thought about getting more , but there is also 3 silver arowana in with them . it might be a little over stocked as they really start to get big lol

 

[peter predtank]

heres a pic of the whole gang looking for supper .
and some of mean joe and goldie dukin it out a bit like they always do , no real damage .
just a muzzle punch or two to the face once in a while lol

the damage you see on mean joes spines was caused during the netting for the venting but he is fine as you can see

That's what I was thinking and the vertical bars should have done it for me.

They looked azuls to me, but for some reason they look like hybrids. maybe due to the dark substrate.
